Hilary Duff, 37, is keeping family traditions alive despite traveling this Christmas season. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, the actress revealed her family would be spending Christmas on the road. Despite the change, Duff loves the holiday buildup, from picking out a Christmas tree to playing tag at the tree lot—a cherished family activity.
A Quietly Personal Tradition
Once the tree is up, Duff finds a moment for herself. After her children head to school, she rearranges the ornaments to her liking. It’s a quirky way of blending family time with personal touches. Her family includes her son Luca, 12, from her first marriage to Mike Comrie, and three daughters, Banks, 6, Mae, 3, and newborn Townes, with her husband, Matthew Koma.
Night Swims and Cocoa Fun
This year, Duff introduced a luxurious new tradition: heated night swims paired with hot cocoa. Sometimes accompanied by a glass of red wine, these midweek dips create special moments for her children, breaking up the routine. The family also plans to ski after their Christmas travels, rounding out the holiday excitement.
Holiday Stress and Motherhood
While Duff loves the magic of the holidays, she admits they can be overwhelming, especially for mothers. “The burden is heavy for moms,” she shares. Waking up with to-do lists on her mind is part of the stress, but she’s slowly preparing and eager for the season’s joy despite the challenges.
Meta AI: Duff’s Secret Holiday Helper
To manage the chaos, Duff is working with Meta AI, which she calls a “thought partner.” The technology helps her brainstorm ideas, organize lists, and even whip up recipes. “It’s like having an assistant,” Duff jokes, highlighting how helpful it is—even for someone with personal staff.
