Alison Brie Shares Holiday Marriage Playbook With Dave Franco

She emphasizes privately acknowledging family quirks without judgment to reduce holiday stress.

Overview

  • Brie says the couple treats each other as allies by quietly recognizing in‑law quirks without criticism during family gatherings.
  • She adds that mutual venting about relatives’ idiosyncrasies fosters greater acceptance and affection between partners.
  • Their practical rule for presents is to divide and conquer: each shops for their own family, gifts are from both, and they sometimes skip exchanging with each other.
  • Thanksgiving typically means the holiday with her family in Los Angeles, followed by a next‑day trip to Palo Alto to see his side.
  • Brie discussed the approach in a People interview while promoting a Macy’s holiday spot and said she had already started gift shopping on the retailer’s site.
