Drew Barrymore recently revealed why she chooses not to give her two children Christmas presents.
The actor and talk show personality told “Entertainment Tonight” host Nischelle Turner on Thursday that he has another holiday tradition with daughters Olive, 10, and Frankie, 8.
“I always take them on the move every Christmas,” she said. “I don’t get them presents, which I think, at their age, they don’t like. But I say, “I think we’ll remember the place, the photos, and the experience, and that’s what I want to give you.”
Barrymore added that she gives her little ones “a lot of things throughout the year,” but prefers to give them a “lifetime memory” instead of holiday gifts.
“Everything is leveling off and it’s good. But I really enjoy traveling at Christmas,” she said.
The actor shares Olive and Frankie with ex-husband Will Kopelman. The two divorced in 2016 after four years of marriage.

Barrymore often talks openly about her parenting experiences.
During a conversation last year on singer Demi Lovato’s podcast, Barrymore recalled telling her girls that she would always consider herself their parent rather than their “friend” — a perspective she embraced thanks to her turbulent past. with his mother.
“It doesn’t have to be this close relationship,” Barrymore clarified. “You can be friendly and active.”
But children still need “that old star of how to behave,” she said.
In September, Barrymore also penned a sweet tribute to Olive for her 10th anniversary.
“I have never known a love like the one I have for you and your sister Frankie,” she said in an Instagram post. “The biggest I’ve ever known. It holds first place in my heart. You are my priorities.
