Mariah Carey may be the unofficial Queen of Christmas, but Sydney Sweeney sure knows how to celebrate, too.
“I love the holidays,” Sweeney, 26, tells PEOPLE.
The Euphoria and White lotus star — born in Spokane, Wash., and raised in Idaho to parents Lisa, a former attorney, and Steven, who works in the hospitality industry — adds that she likes to spoil her loved ones.
“I get the same onesies for every single member of my family, including my pets,” says Sweeney, whose parents are now divorced. “We just have a huge room of 60 cousins, aunts and uncles, all in the same suitcases.”
With everyone in their combinations, the Sweeneys strike a pose. “Then we make a pyramid where we all try to stack on top of each other and take the annual photo,” she says.
After that they exchange gifts. “We’re doing Secret Santa,” Sweeney continues. “I just love giving gifts and seeing how happy people are.”
Sweeney is looking forward to celebrating with her family after what she says has been a “whirlwind” period in her life.
The actress, who is engaged to producer Jonathan Davin, filmed and released a romantic comedy Anyone but you, starring Glen Powell. In addition to starring in the film, Sweeney also served as an executive producer.
