Overview
- Hudson credits Russell with bringing the Christmas tradition to their blended family and says the holiday is not split between households.
- He recalls a first Colorado cabin morning staged with sled tracks on the roof, a fallen reindeer bell, and a present stuck in the chimney.
- Those touches now recur each year at the family’s Colorado ranch with a planned Santa sighting, ringing bells, and kids rushing to the windows.
- Holiday duties are defined: Goldie Hawn sets the house and bakes, Kate Hudson is “Miss Holiday Spirit” with matching pajamas, and Oliver and Wyatt Russell handle the lights.
- The family aims to preserve children’s belief in Santa for as long as possible, even into the pre-teen years.
