Sonya Kraus goes far away, Lena Gercke celebrates in the snow: This is how celebrities celebrate Christmas.
“Stralsund” star Sophie Pfennigstorf (34) has already had her Christmas beach vacation behind her. “I’m flying back from Sri Lanka on December 24th and hope to be sitting at the Christmas table with my family on time that evening,” said the actress.
Off to the mountains
For “Sturm der Liebe” star Dieter Bach (60), however, “there is hardly anything nicer than being in the mountains. Preferably with snow. That’s why I’m staying in Munich,” explains the actor. Model Lena Gercke (35) also goes to the mountains every year. “It’s really important to me that there’s a Christmas atmosphere, which is why we usually go to the mountains and celebrate Christmas in the snow to really get into the winter and Christmas spirit,” enthuses the mother of two.
Designer Michael Michalsky (56) has long since stopped being stressed when it comes to planning. “I stay at home, make myself super comfortable and am amused by the many people who think they have to find something special at Christmas.” Mirja du Mont (47) also doesn’t want to do any experiments at Christmas. “Every year I spend Christmas Eve at my home in Hamburg with the family – children and parents. My children are not allowed to see the decorated Christmas tree until the presents are handed out! Then I ring a small bell and they come into the living room. This has become a fixed ritual. “
“With the family, very contemplative”
Singer Zoe Wees (21) celebrates Christmas “actually always the same. In the closest circle of my family, nothing special or out of the ordinary. I’m just happy to have the most important people around me.” “Bergretter” star Sebastian Ströbel (46) sees it similarly. “We celebrate Christmas in the classic way. With the family, in a very contemplative way – I really like to end the year in a relaxed way. We’re all always on the go and everything is always very restless, so it’s even nicer when you’re there can really take a breather.” Michelle Hunziker (46) also “celebrates with the whole family like every year. Of course we have our traditions and the most important thing is to make the celebration as nice as possible for the children,” said the presenter, who is very happy looking forward to her first Christmas with her grandson Cesare.
The more the better
“Sturm der Liebe” star Laura Osswald (41) is carrying on her mother’s tradition. “My mother was also a single parent with us and, among other things, she always invited everyone who didn’t have anyone to come to us. That’s how we always do it. My brother comes with his family, my girlfriend from Berlin is there and everyone else too , who would like to. Then I cook a big meal. It’s always a nice Friends Christmas with us,” enthuses the actress.
Sasha (51) also has a full house. “Like every year since I met my wife, I’m celebrating at home with the whole family – this year again with us. Since there’s always more to come, there’s a lot of us now. Just as you would imagine in terms of a large family. According to, “Sometimes contemplative, but above all warm,” laughs the singer.
