Nicole Kidman, aka the reigning queen of Christmas cheer, has officially declared war on boring, undecorated homes everywhere—much to the dismay of her neighbors. The Oscar-winning actress, currently starring in Babygirl (yes, that’s a real movie title, not a pet name for her holiday lights), recently spilled the festive tea on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
First, let’s address the most important fact: Nicole showed up to the interview in a pinstripe suit that screamed, “Yes, I’m that classy AMC ad lady. Now, let me tell you about my holiday takeover.” And oh, did she deliver.
Nicole confessed to Stephen that her holiday spirit kicks in so early, it could probably file for Halloween residency. “I have lights up. I’m that person,” she admitted with zero shame. “We put them up at the beginning of November.” BEGINNING. Not the 30th. Not the weekend before Thanksgiving. She’s talking “still-eating-Halloween-candy” November.
And it’s not just a casual string of lights on the porch. Oh no. Nicole goes full Clark Griswold. “We do a huge Thanksgiving,” she explained, as if the turkey and cranberry sauce need a spotlight. “I just like to have the lights up. So we’ve got the lights up. I apologized [to] all the neighbors.” You know those neighbors are plotting a “no-decorations-before-December” city ordinance right now.
But Nicole has a master plan to make her year-round sparkle dreams a reality. She’s proposing a rebranding effort to rename Christmas lights as winter lights. “I want to start a whole movement,” she declared, her inner holiday activist shining through. “A light-up-your-life movement.” Honestly, if Nicole runs for president of festive vibes, she’s got our vote.
And while her neighbors might be stocking up on blackout curtains, the internet can’t get enough. Between her AMC-esque outfit and her unapologetic holiday obsession, Nicole Kidman is the gift that keeps on giving—wrapped in twinkle lights and served with a side of sass.
So, whether you’re team “lights in November” or “Nicole, please stop,” one thing’s for sure: this woman’s holiday energy could power the entire grid. And honestly? We love that for her.
