In less than two weeks, Teresa Giudice will be released from the Federal Correctional Facility in Danbury, Conn., where she's been since January, and Gorga couldn't be more excited for Giudice to be reunited with her daughters -- just in time for the holidays.

"I think it's gonna be a really nice Christmas this year," Gorga told PEOPLE Magazine on Wednesday. "I just think it's gonna be a lot of new beginnings, hopefully just a fresh start, especially for [Giudice]. It's a beautiful thing. It's a very lucky thing."

"I get more happy about her children seeing her," Gorga said, revealing Giudice's family, including her husband, Joe, and their four daughters, visit her often. "Everyone can't wait for that reunion for them … it'll be beautiful for her to be actually home with her family."

According to Gorga, whose been starring alongside Giudice in The Real Housewives of New Jersey since season three, she's planning to host a family party on Christmas Eve, claiming, "It should be a beautiful thing."

Meanwhile, as the Giudice's prepare for Teresa's arrival, they are also preparing for Joe to begin a 41-month sentence in early March for his crimes of bank and wire fraud, which he and Teresa pleaded guilty to in October of last year.

"I don't know how anyone prepares," Gorga explained. "Spend a lot of time with your family, that's how you prepare."
