Do you want to build a snowman? — Olivia Holt does! As the holidays near, the 18-year-old Disneystar is gearing up for one of her favorite times of year. Planning a celebration with her relatives, the singer and actress says she can’t wait tolet the Holt family traditions begin.
“I’m such a big fan of this time of year because I get to see a lot of my family that I don’t get to see during the year, so we all kind of reunite at the end of the year and talk about how incredible this year has been and all of the opportunities that have shown up in our lives,” the actress told HELLO! at the WWD and Variety Inaugural Stylemakers’ Event at Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles on Thursday. “The good times, the bad times. We laugh, we cry. It’s such an emotional but amazing time of year for me.”

And the onething she is hoping for this year is a white Christmas! “I haven’t seensnow in quite a while so I’m hoping that that happens when I go up there,” she said of a family trip to Iowa. Oncethe snow begins to fall, the Holt traditions will commence. "I have a lot of fun cousins so we’ll go outside, have a snowball fight, build a snowman."
The actress is all set with a Plan B, just in case it doesn't snow. "We’ll probably just eat.”
While thestarlet enjoys being outdoors, she can certainly rock a red carpet look. Her style inspiration? Jessica Alba.
“She’s youngand she’s fun,” Olivia says of the Honest Company co-founder. “She lookscomfortable and confident and it looks affordable. I love that about her, thatshe’s so relatable in a sense that you feel like anything that she wears youcan rock as well.”
