Koe Wetzel brings his trademark party spirit to the holidays with a boozy twist on Christmas traditions.
Country music star Koe Wetzel has built a reputation for being the life of the party, and his Christmas celebrations are no exception. Wetzel shared the festive details of his family’s holiday traditions, which revolve around good spirits—both literally and figuratively.
On Friday, December 6, Wetzel dropped “Koe Wetzel presents … Wetzel’s Wonderland Chapter 2,” a Christmas EP that adds a country flair to holiday classics like “Run Run Rudolph” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” Meanwhile, his hit single “High Road,” a duet with Jessie Murph, continues to climb Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.
While Wetzel’s music is part of the holiday fun, his family’s traditions are just as noteworthy. A signature element of Wetzel’s Christmas festivities is the family’s white elephant gift exchange, where the gifts are almost exclusively high-end bottles of booze. “Good bourbons and stuff,” Wetzel explains. “Whoever gets the best bottle, they open it up and we drink it that night.”
The more subdued moments of the holiday come on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning when Wetzel gathers with his father’s side of the family for presents and a quieter celebration. Christmas Day continues with a trip to his aunt’s house, where the party picks up again. “My mom’s side, she has a huge family. We like the bottle over there,” Wetzel adds.
Whether it’s music or a boozy white elephant gift exchange, Wetzel’s Christmas celebrations stay true to his fun-loving, high-energy persona.
