When it comes to the holidays with mother-son duo Keke Palmer and Leo, they go all out! We saw them absolutely win Halloween 2023 with their elaborate costume, and in the holiday season, they’re going all out again (and new and soon-to-be moms are taking notes)!

In a recent interview with UsMagazine, the Nope star revealed that a friend of hers inspired a tradition she wants to do with baby Leo: custom ornaments.

“I love the idea of doing ornaments for every year of [Leo’s] first, second, third, fifth, whatever Christmases. But then also the idea that it’s something that can be a namesake within our family. That’s something I’m excited for,” she said about the new tradition that was inspired by her friend’s gift of ornaments with Leo’s face on it.

Palmer added, “Maybe it can even become a tradition … each year, that you do a new custom one to mark his age and his growth and that it’s something that he can also pass down and do with his children. I think that that’s actually a tradition that we’ll probably continue.”

This is such a sweet idea to honor every age of your child (and much easier to accomplish since Etsy has so many wonderful customization options)!

Back in Dec 2022, Palmer announced during her Saturday Night Live opening monologue that she was expecting a baby with her ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson. They later welcomed a son named Leodis Andrellton Jackson, also known as Leo, on Feb 2023. (Can you believe he’s almost one year old?! Where has the time gone?!)

These celeb parents know how to throw an epic birthday bash!
