What color will be the most fashionable for Christmas tree decorations this year? What social parties do all the stars strive to attend and what gifts do they find under the Christmas tree? The New Year's rush begins long before the end of December, and residents of the Hollywood Hills consider observing Christmas etiquette a matter of honor.
What do they give there?
In the USA, as in Europe, Christmas is the main winter holiday, loved by both ordinary people and movie stars.
In the California crowd on Rodeo Drive or in New York's Rockefeller Center, hundreds of Santa Clauses and Hollywood celebrities wander among hundreds. They, like all residents of America, make lists of gifts, come up with menus for the New Year and make holiday plans. Shopping is a particularly important matter for them. Information about gifts for relatives or loved ones will undoubtedly leak to the press and become a topic of discussion for many months to come.
In the prestigious department stores Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue, whose names have long become a symbol of luxury, you can find Sharon Stone, Naomi Campbell, and Victoria Beckham at the end of the year. By the way, it was the ex-peppercorn who bought not only cufflinks with diamonds, but also a set of non-stick frying pans as a gift for her husband last Christmas. They say that the famous football player loves to cook, and therefore was incredibly happy about the gift. In gratitude, he pleased Victoria with a real chocolate fountain on Christmas Day.
And yet, the most popular gifts, even among stars, are jewelry, clothing and perfume. Last year's top gifts were confidently topped by Clive Ghristian No. 1 for Women Pure Perfume. The crystal bottle is decorated with gold and diamonds, and its price is $2,350. The second step of the podium was taken by ReVive Peau Magnific cream for $1,500 per jar.
How are they celebrated there?
Having chosen gifts, Hollywood celestials throw all their energy into decorating their homes. The most popular attributes remain Christmas trees, wreaths, garlands with red and gold ribbons and numerous light bulbs on trees and windows.
Last Christmas, black Christmas trees, decorated with Swarovski crystals and gold balls, prevailed in the homes of stars. This year, according to rumors, high society prefers red and gold to decorate their homes.
Christmas is usually celebrated with family. Celebrities travel to their “historical homelands”, where their relatives and friends live. Banderas and his wife go to Spain, Johnny Depp prefers a chalet in a village near Saint-Tropez, and Schwarzenegger flies to Austria. Mexican Salma Hayek celebrates the holiday in a noisy company of family and tequila, and for Hugh Jackman even a long-hour flight to Australia is not an obstacle.
Some stars prefer to organize a holiday for those who are less fortunate in life. Jennifer Lopez gives gifts and sings to the poor in Bronx shelters, and Madonna and Sean Connery take part in charity dinners, the proceeds of which are transferred to medical funds for the poor.
Last year, there was an embarrassment at such an event: Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall showed up to the party in identical dresses and once again quarreled, proving that female friendship is a relative concept.

There is an opinion that all the stars are very busy on New Year and Christmas with concerts and corporate events, and they don’t even have time to sit quietly with their family and properly celebrate the holidays. After reviewing the photos that celebrities happily post on their Instagram accounts, we came to the conclusion that most celebrities still prefer to celebrate the winter holidays as they should, at home with their closest ones.
Some, however, decided to work off their fees even on New Year’s Eve, while others swapped the snow-covered streets of their hometown for a vacation in warmer climes. How, where and with whom the stars met the most long-awaited day of the year - in today's selection.

How do stars celebrate the New Year?
Unlike Christmas, Hollywood celestials celebrate the New Year publicly, widely and noisily. Grand parties thrown in the homes of Nicolas Cage and George Clooney are becoming an object of desire for everyone, including the richest. Journalists and just outsiders are not allowed there, but some leakage of information still occurs. Last New Year, tycoon Donald Trump celebrated with a wild party, where Paris Hilton and Ivanka Trump almost came to blows.
Who works, who rests: How the stars will celebrate the New Year
Who should work and who should plan salads?
Each of us will celebrate the New Year 2020 differently. The majority, of course, are with loved ones, friends, at a large or not so festive table. Someone will be forced to work directly on New Year's Eve, because train traffic does not stop, planes do not stop flying. Rescuers, doctors and law enforcement officers need to be on duty, and be prepared on New Year’s Eve, because at this time their help may be needed, just like at any other time. There is no time for rest for cooks, waiters and other representatives of the service industry whose shifts fell on the New Year.
So show business stars often prefer to work at corporate events and fully relax during the January holidays with the country. Of course, the cost of such performances by artists significantly exceeds the standard fee, and for the sake of this money, musicians and actors are ready to sacrifice home comfort. In the end, they celebrate the New Year very cheerfully, providing holiday guests with an entertainment program.
At home with family
However, there are also those among them who never interfere with work or such important family holidays as the New Year. Among them is actress and TV presenter Anastasia Melnikova. The deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg traditionally spends December 31 and January 1 at home. On these winter days, relatives always put up a Christmas tree, but the star of “Streets of Broken Lights” buys two or three trees in pots and plants them.

The actress said that she has had such a “family” attitude towards the New Year since childhood, since it was celebrated by a large company: mom, dad, relatives, friends.
The doors of the house were open to everyone, so we met all the Santa Clauses, and everyone could stay with us,
– the artist said in an interview with “360”.
Producer Yana Rudkovskaya will celebrate the onset of 2020 with her loved ones, including her husband, figure skater Evgeni Plushenko, son Sasha, as well as older children. But until the last hours of the passing year, the star family will have hard work: on both the 30th and 31st, viewers will be able to see the colorful ice show “Cinderella”. Such famous figure skaters as Adelina Sotnikova and Yulia Lipnitskaya take part in it. Rudkovskaya’s plans for 2020 include tours not only in Russia, but also abroad.

The group “Hands Up” will perform in Ryazan on New Year’s Eve, but without its leader Sergei Zhukov. The ex-soloist of the group is now touring separately. However, on New Year's Eve he still decided to be with his family. After this, concert life will begin to boil again - it is necessary to consolidate the successes of 2020.
New Year on stage

Grigory Leps, being one of the highest paid artists in the country, will celebrate the holiday at work. According to the singer's PR manager, this is quite common. The “Hot New Year” concert at Crocus City Hall will bring together a whole galaxy of stars. In addition to Leps, Leonid Agutin, Emin, the A'Studio group, Ivanushki International and others will appear on stage on New Year's Eve.
Former member of the Leningrad group Yulia Kogan believes that during the year she spends a lot of time with her family, the same goes for friends. Therefore, for her, working on New Year’s Day is a tradition. There are two concerts in St. Petersburg at once. At the same time, the artist has a strict rule - no alcohol.
Tatyana Bulanova's work is still in demand, and the singer does not want to miss the opportunity to perform on December 31. She notes that she has worked this way her entire adult life. The secret is simple - always enjoy going on stage. Therefore, an ordinary day or a holiday – there is no fundamental difference. Nevertheless, New Year’s traditions are not at all alien to the artist. She always puts up a Christmas tree, buys new toys, thus preserving a piece of childhood thanks to the holiday.

So Yuri Loza believes that the best New Year for an artist is at work. And all because in this case the popular belief clearly comes true: how you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it. The logic is really obvious: if you worked on the night of January 1, you won’t be left without concerts for the next 12 months.
I already know when I go on stage. So I will work - and this is the main thing,
– the singer told Nation News.
Singer Irina Dubtsova’s New Year’s tradition is this: in the morning she goes to buy food for the New Year’s table, then she has to prepare several dishes that she will only try... January 1st. Because it will work on New Year's Eve. And the artist’s vacation will begin when the whole country, on the contrary, finishes vacationing - after January 8.
Stas Piekha will celebrate the upcoming holiday in Yalta together with his viewers. The performer admits that he doesn’t feel the New Year’s mood at the table with salads. Another thing is performing in front of fans, thanks to whom there is a feeling of a real holiday. The only thing the artist regrets is that when 2020 comes, he will not be with his son.

Holidays abroad
Ballerina Anastasia Volochkova will celebrate 2020 with friends outside the city, after which she will go to a “deserted” island. According to PR manager Volochkova, it is called Koh Yao Yai. Of course there are people there. But nevertheless, it preserves the pristine nature as much as possible, into which Volochkova is going to immerse herself.
TV presenter Olga Buzova will also go where it is warmer. The other day she admitted to fans that she was really dating blogger David Manukyan. However, for admirers of the numerous “talents” of the omnipresent Buzova, this was an open secret. The couple had been suspected of having a romantic relationship since August. And now, judging by media reports, they have flown to Bali, where they will celebrate 2020.

Actor Oscar Kucera will also be celebrating abroad. He is so in love with the Italian Lake Garda that he will once again fly there with his family - this has already become a tradition. Then skiing in Chamonix, France.
At some point, I will have to return to Moscow for a couple of days - I need to play performances here, but it will only take three days, and after that I will fly back to my family to “finish out” the holidays,
– Kuchera told Hello magazine.

Actress Kristina Asmus's pre-holiday mood was considerably spoiled by her failing health. She developed a high fever due to a bacterial infection, which led to hospitalization. The artist really hopes that doctors will be able to discharge her home before the New Year.
We wish our readers to meet 2020 in good health. Good luck in the New Year!
What do they eat?
Homemade Christmas dinners, even among movie stars and super-models, are quite traditional: turkey, potato salad and fruit punch. There are no strict rules for the New Year either. The main thing is that there is champagne on the New Year's table, which should not be cheaper than vintage Dom Perignon. The bottle is accompanied by tartlets with various fillings, collection cheeses, potato cream with Piedmontese truffles and cookies from the Parisian patisserie La Duree. In a word, everything is almost as traditional as our Olivier salad or herring under a fur coat.
Other traditions
More and more young and not so young stars prefer to celebrate the New Year in exotic, warm countries. Gisele Bündchen visited her native Brazilian beaches last year, Uma Thurman and Holy Berry flew to the Caribbean, and Kate Moss rocked it in Thailand.
Fans of winter romance have chosen the Aspen ski resort in Colorado. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, Model Heidi Klum and her family, and even Michael Douglas prefer to celebrate holidays there. The latter settled firmly in Colorado, buying a house there as a gift for his beloved wife Katherine.

For some, the New Year is a Christmas tree, Olivier, champagne and Irony of Fate; for others, it’s a noisy company of friends and the clink of glasses on Red Square.
OSCAR KUCHERA (actor, TV presenter): - I usually celebrate the New Year at home, with my family. I haven’t worked on New Year’s Eve for several years now. Although during my student days I worked as Santa Claus! One day I was driving to a call and saw a man on the road with a car battery. He walked so sad. I tell him: “Wait for me - I’ll go to the call and then I’ll give you a ride where you need to go.” I come - there is neither a man nor a radio in my car. I remember: somehow the New Year found me in a tunnel under New Arbat. I was supposed to meet him with friends at the club, where I was actually going, but for some reason I didn’t have time. When midnight struck, I stopped, turned on the emergency lights, went out into the street, stopped several cars, and together with the drivers we drank champagne and celebrated the old year.
Valery KIPELOV (leader of the Kipelov group): - New Year is one of my favorite holidays. I always meet him at home, with his family. And I have a big family. I don't like noisy companies. If possible, after the New Year we all go sledding down the hills together. By the way, I still associate New Year with The Beatles. Back then I loved to go ice skating on New Year's Eve. And there was music constantly playing at the skating rink. There I first heard the music of The Beatles. As I remember now, the song “Girl” was playing. I was shocked. Then I began to find out who plays this music.
Sergei SHNUROV (leader of the Leningrad group): - New Year means nothing to me. This is an artificial holiday that people invented for themselves. It’s impossible to go outside on New Year’s Eve, because the little boys who once cleaned my shoes are exploding firecrackers on every corner. And I take sleeping pills and go to bed so as not to hear this and not see the same faces on TV on all channels. And for the readers I wish for the New Year: be sure to read the history of art. Celebrate the New Year, naturally, at home, with your parents and do not drink anything alcoholic. Joke!
MARA (singer): - The New Year holiday for me is literally the coming of the new year. This is the beginning of a new stage in life. On New Year, as well as on my birthday, I like to go somewhere: as a rule, to hot countries where there is no snow at all, and celebrate the New Year with some Papuans, aborigines, that is, in the wildest fantastic way.
Once, my classmate and I celebrated the New Year in the forest in a terrible frost, it seems -10 degrees. We took with us a huge “bag” with everything we needed. There was champagne, which we drank from crystal glasses, hookah, sandwiches with red caviar, real black coffee. We lit a fire and staged a local mega-show there together. It was great!
