‘Tis the season for celebration.
Many stars got into the festive spirit this Christmas, working harder than Santa Claus’ elves to deck the halls for the Dec. 25 holiday.
“Christmas for me starts with setting a beautiful table, having the tree of my dreams in my mind,” Kardashians matriarch Kris Jenner told E! News. “Just creating a mood so that when my kids come over, my grandkids come over, friends and family, you walk in and you get excited.”
Likewise, Gwyneth Paltrow is all about the decor. “My husband is a little bit of a Grinch, so he’s the opposite, but I love the decorations,” she said of Brad Falchuk on a recent episode of The Goop Podcast. “I really get into the holiday spirit. I love decorating.”
Even A$AP Rocky—who is spending his first Christmas with Rihanna as a dad of three—is into traditional yuletide vibes, telling E! News before the holiday that he loves having “logs in the fireplace—stuff like that.”
“I’m looking forward to white Christmas with snow,” he shared, “and some chestnuts roasting.”

Meanwhile, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are doing a bit of traveling as well this holiday season.
“Blake and I, we just bounce back and forth between Oklahoma constantly,” the No Doubt frontwoman told Today. “This December, we’re going back there and then we’re gonna bounce back to L.A.”
Another celebrity jet-setting who is up for some jet-setting this Christmas? Sydney Sweeney.
“I really want to jump out of a helicopter and ski,” she quipped during an appearance on The Tonight Show. “I love that stuff.”
The Euphoria star added, “I’ve jumped out of a helicopter before, and I’ve skied before, so I figured if I just put the two together, I got this.”
