Unveiling her latest campaign with Coach, actress Camila Morrone shares her favorite holiday traditions new and old, and tells us about the special guest on the set of her photoshoot.

This time last year, model-turned-actress <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/model-cami-morrone-is-making-her-first-serious-foray-into-film">Camila Morrone</a> was <a href="https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2019-12-03/camila-morrone-mickey-and-the-bear">making headlines</a> for her breakout role in indie flick Mickey and the Bear. Like everyone else in Hollywood and elsewhere, however, her momentum came to a halt in 2020 as projects were put on hold. After passing time during the pandemic learning Italian, fostering (and adopting) huskies, and traveling, 23-year-old Morrone is gearing up to get back to work in the new year. Last November, the Argentinian LA-native announced that she&rsquo;ll be joining the cast of Amazon limited-series <a href="https://www.oprahmag.com/entertainment/a30460831/daisy-jones-and-the-six-tv-show-cast-release-date-trailer/">Daisy Jones and the Six</a>, and production is slated to start early 2021. With January inching closer, she&rsquo;s itching to get back on set and work with the Riley Keogh-led cast.

But before returning to acting, Morrone kicks off the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop%20culture/emma-chamberlain-christmas-holiday-fail-youtube">holiday</a> season with a special <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/coach-podcast-selena-gomez-michael-b-jordan-2019">Coach</a> campaign. Sitting next to her Christmas tree with mistletoe in hand, she gets into the festive spirit while showing off Coach&rsquo;s most gift-worthy accessories of the season, including a pair of shearling boots and a leather tote. A returning face to the Coach family, the actress is also joined by <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/richest-women-america-list-2020-rihanna-beyonce-jennifer-lopez">Jennifer Lopez</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/michael-b-jordan-vous-apprend-a-boxer">Michael B. Jordan</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/megan-thee-stallion-yara-shahidi-coach-holiday-movie">Megan Thee Stallion</a>, and more ambassadors in their own Holiday is Where You Find It vignettes. Here, Morrone speaks exclusively with L&rsquo;OFFICIEL about all things holiday, from her family traditions to her guilty pleasures, along with filling us in on who&nbsp;stole the show of her Coach photoshoot.

L&#39;OFFICIEL: How will the holidays look different for you and your family this year?

CAMILA MORRONE:&nbsp;I&#39;ve never spent a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop%20culture/emma-chamberlain-christmas-holiday-fail-youtube">Christmas</a> away from my family, luckily, and work has never collided with that, but it looks like this year work may be conflicting with my Christmas festivities. It&#39;s a weird time for everyone and I&#39;m curious to see how these holidays will go about. I&#39;m not sure where my Christmas is being held this year and I know that I&#39;m not doing a big celebration, so at least I got to live vicariously through my <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/coach-fall-2019">Coach</a> holiday campaign.

&nbsp;

L&#39;O: What holiday tradition did you want to reflect in the campaign?

CM: I&#39;m really into decorating the tree. I&#39;ve done that every Christmas, and it&#39;s like my big thing with my mom. We pretty much start decorating the tree right after <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/billy-porter-thanksgiving-parade-coach-pose">Thanksgiving</a>. We move from Thanksgiving festivities onto Christmas <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/christmas-holiday-movies-stream-netflix">festivities</a>, so that&#39;s the fun thing to do Thanksgiving weekend. I like to have them around to get into the spirit. I&#39;ve collected a really nice group of ornaments and things that I like to put on the tree that are meaningful. I usually stick to an all-gold or all-silver tree and then I always add fake snowflakes on top so it looks snowy and Christmas-y.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

L&#39;O: Are you the type to dress up for Christmas or spend it in pajamas?

CM: I change my Christmas PJ onesies every couple of years, and I normally start off Christmas in a <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/the-only-party-dresses-you-ll-need-this-holiday-season">cute</a> outfit and by the time I&#39;m halfway done with my meal I go and change out into something more <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/pajamas-daywear-2018">forgiving</a> and sweatpants-like. You need clothes that will expand on Christmas.

&nbsp;

L&#39;O: I heard that someone special made a cameo while capturing the campaign.

CM:&nbsp;It&#39;s [my <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/burberry-dog-sweatshirt-2019">dog</a>] Sally&#39;s debut! She has never sat in front of the camera and she absolutely loved it as everyone on set can attest to because she would not get out of the shot. She was just so in love with camera, so it was Sally&#39;s big modeling moment. And may I add that she&#39;s a rescue, and we should all rescue or adopt if we have the opportunity.

L&#39;O: If you can&#39;t be at home for the holidays this year, where would you want your destination Christmas celebration to be?

CM:&nbsp;The past couple years I&#39;ve been doing it at my home,&nbsp;hosting a bunch of people and doing a really big Christmas <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/persol-campaign-celebration-2019">dinner.</a> Before that, growing up, I always went to Argentina. I never missed a Christmas there because that&#39;s where my whole family lives and is from. So in order to see my cousins and my grandparents, I would have to travel over there and spend Christmas, which is interesting because it&#39;s the opposite season so it&#39;s always super hot for Christmas versus here it&#39;s the coldest time in the U.S.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

L&#39;O: Does your family celebrate any Argentinian holiday customs?

CM: When I started doing Christmas in America, I realized that you guys open the presents on the morning of&nbsp;[December] 25th, on Christmas Day, which I guess is the way they do it all over the world, but in Argentina it happens at night on Christmas Eve. Santa comes down the chimney when we&#39;re all at dinner and then we go to the tree and everything is there all of a sudden. So Christmas morning doesn&#39;t really exist, at least my family has never done it like that.

L&#39;O: What&#39;s on your Christmas menu?

CM:&nbsp;In <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/lula-miranda-debuts-new-single-the-ride">Argentina</a>, it was really different because growing up we didn&#39;t make candied yams and there&#39;s no stuffing. It&#39;s a very different kind of cuisine. I like what we do here in America because it&#39;s just so much more glutinous and it&#39;s the only time of year that you&#39;re going to sit down and eat this kind of food. The Christmas menu since I&#39;ve been doing it and hosting my own has been turkey and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/wellness/vegan-restaurants-nyc-2018">vegan </a>options for my vegan friends, which I have a lot of, and then the creamiest mashed potatoes you could ever imagine, candied yams are an absolute necessity with extra burnt marshmallows, stuffing, and I always have apple cider around this time&ndash;hot and cold. And I make none of this, by the way.

&nbsp;

L&#39;O: Any holiday guilty pleasures?

CM:&nbsp;I definitely love my pumpkin pies this time of year and I really go for it during this month of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/holiday-magazine-book-interview-2019">holiday</a> season. I do a lot of baking and eat a lot of other people&#39;s baking. I listen to the same <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/mariah-carey-all-i-want-for-christmas-anniversary">Mariah Carey Christmas soundtrack</a> pretty much the whole month and a little bit of the Frank Sinatra holiday album. Yeah, I get pretty lazy in December and I guess that&#39;s my guilty pleasure.
