In a special holiday feature, Curtis invites fans to join her as she reminisces about her favorite Christmas traditions, family moments, and what makes this season truly magical.
A Family-Oriented Holiday
For Jamie Lee Curtis, Christmas has always been a deeply family-centered time. Growing up in a household filled with love, the holiday season was a chance to come together and celebrate. "Christmas was always a big deal in our family," says Curtis, who fondly remembers the joy of spending time with her parents, the legendary Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, as well as her siblings. The festivities were filled with laughter, warmth, and the kind of close-knit bonding that made the season unforgettable.
"Some of my fondest memories are of decorating the tree with my family," Curtis shares. "We’d spend hours putting up ornaments, listening to music, and just being in the moment. It was never about the gifts but about the connection we had with each other."
This sense of togetherness and tradition has been passed down to her own family. As a mother and grandmother, Curtis continues to keep those holiday traditions alive with her children and grandchildren, making new memories while honoring the old.
The Importance of Giving Back
While gifts and decorations are a big part of the holiday season, Curtis emphasizes that Christmas is also a time to reflect on the importance of giving. "The real joy of the season comes from the acts of kindness we extend to others," she explains. For Jamie Lee Curtis, Christmas isn’t just about what you receive, but about how you make others feel—something she has always embraced in her own life.
In recent years, Curtis has taken part in various charitable efforts during the holidays, giving back to those in need through donations and community service. Whether it’s helping with local food drives or spreading awareness about causes close to her heart, Curtis encourages everyone to use the holiday season as an opportunity to make a positive impact.
The Magic of Christmas Movies
As someone who has starred in some of the most iconic films of all time, it’s no surprise that Christmas movies hold a special place in Jamie Lee Curtis’ heart. "There’s something magical about those holiday classics. They evoke a sense of nostalgia and remind us of the simpler joys in life," she says. Curtis mentions that her family’s go-to holiday movie is It’s a Wonderful Life, a timeless classic that never fails to bring them together.
Curtis also shares her own experiences of watching Christmas films with her children, passing down the love for these films that create lasting memories. "I love the idea that movies can bring families together. There’s a reason people watch A Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street, and The Grinch year after year—they’re filled with heart and remind us of what matters most."
