As it turns out, Gwyneth Paltrow's husband Brad Falchuk is not a major fan of Christmas.
The Marty Supreme actress, 53, shared during the Tuesday, Dec. 2 episode of the goop podcast that her husband, 54, is not fond of the winter holiday season, as she discussed all things Christmas to wrap up 2025.
"I love Christmas; my husband is a little bit of a Grinch, so he's the opposite. But I love the decorations," she said, while discussing her own holiday traditions. "I love the Frank Sinatra Christmas album. I really get into the holiday spirit. I love decorating and we have a traditional menu that we do every year."
Paltrow said in the interview that she makes Martha Stewart's perfect roast turkey recipe every year for Christmas, as well as a traditional stuffing and sweet potatoes. "We never really deviate that much. One year, we added fried chicken to the mix, which I thought was weird, but Brad really was into the idea. But this year I think we're going traditional."
When Paltrow was asked whether Falchuk brought any new holiday traditions to their relationship when they began dating in 2014 and married in 2018, she said, "Are you kidding? Brad is the worst. He hates Christmas music. He hates Christmas decorations. He hates roast turkey. He hates the traditional dinner. He looks forward to it being over. I feel very alone in my house in my love for Christmas; although, all the kids love it, so they're on my side."

Paltrow and Falchuk first met when she guest-starred on the musical comedy series Glee in 2010 as substitute teacher Holly Holliday. Falchuk co-created the series, and Paltrow ultimately appeared in five episodes over the series' run. The pair share a blended family with children from previous marriages: Gwyneth shares daughter Apple, 21, and son Moses, 19 daughter Apple, 21, and son Moses, 19 -- with ex-husband Chris Martin.
As the Academy Award-winning actress noted on the goop podcast, her family has a Jewish background and celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas in December. Falchuk also grew up with Jewish parents; his mother, Nancy Falchuk, told Moment magazine back in 2010 that he grew up "with very activist people involved in the organized Jewish community" in Massachusetts.
Paltrow shares photos to her Instagram each Christmas. Falchuk only appeared in the blurry background photo of a picture she shared on Dec. 25 last year, in which she wished "A very merry Christmas to all."
"Yes, oh my God," she added on the podcast, when asked if she puts up a Christmas tree each year -- and when is most appropriate to put it up. "I know people that do it after Thanksgiving. I think that's pretty acceptable. I think before Thanksgiving, then you're dealing with a dead tree. I usually do it like the first week in December, I would say. My grandmother used to keep the Christmas tree up until Easter, so talk about a dead tree."
