Keke Palmer Shares How She's Staying Cozy and Embracing Traditions This Holiday Season

There's no one right way to celebrate the holidays — what makes this time of year special are the unique traditions each family shares to get into the festive spirit.

This holiday season, Old Navy is highlighting this feeling of inclusivity with a campaign starring Keke Palmer, and we got to chat with her about her favorite seasonal traditions, her gift-giving philosophy, and her holiday fashion formula.

Every year, Keke and her family snuggle up with glasses of eggnog to watch the Frank Capra classic It's a Wonderful Life. In fact, the actress loves watching all different kinds of Christmas movies.

"I live for Hallmark movies!" she told POPSUGAR. "Anything that encourages that holiday spirit — the festive sweaters, the gift wrapping, the Christmas cocktails. I'm all about it."

When it comes to gifting, Keke prioritizes sentimental value and a personal touch above all. Her favorite gift she has ever received wasn't a material good, but a homemade present from a close family member.

"One year, my sister filled a box with confetti, tinsel, and glitter," the actress told POPSUGAR. "Inside, she put all of these inspirational things — a journal, stationary, and a jar filled with little bits of paper that said all the things she loved about me. I still have it and I keep that memory and remember that thoughtfulness until this day."

That said, the perfect store-bought gift can also be a crowd-pleaser. Keke's go-to gift option from Old Navy are "comfy slippers and cozy socks — they're practical and their presence means the holidays have officially arrived." Plus, they make great stocking stuffers!

The Hustlers star also shared her holiday fashion tips, and they're surprisingly simple. For a low-key night at home, sipping cocoa by the fireplace, she opts for cute onesie pajamas, like the ones below. For a party or fancy dinner, it's all about the beauty look. "Red lips always say the holidays," she said. "Red immediately dresses up any look and makes it super festive."

You can see Keke starring in Old Navy's holiday TV commercials, wishing everyone a "Happy All-idays" and celebrating a diverse range of holiday traditions. In the spirit of the "all-iday" season, the brand will also be donating $1 million to provide job opportunities for underserved youth through the Imagine Mission Fund.
