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.

Anne Cohen was the Forward’s deputy digital media editor. When she’s not looking for the secret Jewish history of Voodoo in New Orleans, or making lists about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, she writes for The Assimilator. She graduated from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism with an M.S. magazine concentration in 2012.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.

At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.

Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.

Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly. 

— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
