What Did Jewish Celebrities Do For Christmas?

For Jews, Christmas is a time to switch off, relax, be first in line to see the Christmas blockbuster releases and eat Chinese food by the soft glow of the TV. And in this case, celebrities really are just like us — how did your favorite Jewish stars celebrate Christmas? Find out:

Sarah Silverman sent good wishes.

Seth Rogen binged on TV.

Elizabeth Banks enjoyed winter views.

Emmy Rossum took a trip.

Gene Simmons saw “Wolf of Wall Street.”

Dianna Agron showed off the cutest dog in the universe.

Lena Dunham cuddled with Jack Antanoff.

Lea Michele cooked up a storm.

James Franco displayed his Christmas socks.

Mel Brooks brought Oy to the world on the Sundance Channel.

Melissa Joan Hart posed with her perfect family.

Mayim Bialik visited a friend’s (NOT HER OWN, don’t worry) Christmas tree.

And finally, Julia Louis-Dreyfus made us all feel a little guilty for lazing around in pajamas.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.

With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.

The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
