Bah humbug! The holiday season is the most magical time of the year for a lot of people, but some celebrities have more in common with Scrooge than Santa Claus.
Miley Cyrus has been candid about her struggles around Christmas and wants her fans to know they aren’t alone. The “Prisoner” singer shared a “Sad Christmas Song” in December 2019, which she penned during a lonely period in her life.
“A sad Christmas song I wrote a few years back right before the holidays,” Cyrus wrote via Instagram at the time. “Was feeling like s–t cause I couldn’t be with the one I loved. Even with a house full of family and friends I still felt alone. In ways that still feels relevant and someone reading this right now could possibly relate!”
She added, “If you feel lonely this season just know YOU ARE COMPLETELY MADE OF MAGIC! You are as special as a snowflake, beautifully unique and I hope inside your soul feels light, hope, peace, and joy knowing how singularly amazing YOU are! Love always wins!”
One year later, Cyrus revealed she wanted to have a “goth Christmas” vibe for the holiday season.
“I want an all-black tree this year,” she explained on the KISS FM Breakfast Show in November 2020. “I wanna do, like, goth Christmas. I think instead of a garland do, like, rosaries, like, upside-down studded crosses and like, yeah, very goth, medieval kinda vibes.”
The Hannah Montana alum added that Christmas with her family always ends in “fistfights, and usually with each one of us removing ourselves and slamming the door in some way and a lot of apology texts.”
Cyrus added, “I mean we’re all kind of conspiracy theorists and I remember one year we got onto the topic of, like, aliens and it ended with my brothers not talking for a week and my mom crying.”
Colin Firth isn’t the biggest fan of Christmas cheer either. The actor told the Daily Mail in November 2009 that he has a “profound loathing” of the holiday.
“At this time of year, I am careful not to switch on the radio because those novelty jingles make me homicidal and plunge me into the heart of Scrooge territory,” he said at the time. “I think Christmas turns us all into Scrooge. Everyone is trying to throw happy stuff at you, and that’s when I come over all humbug.”

Melania Trump
The former first lady famously ranted about decorating the White House for the holidays in 2018 audio footage, which leaked two years later.
“I’m working … my ass off on the Christmas stuff, that you know,” Trump is heard on the recording, talking to then-advisor Stephanie Winston Wolkoff. “Who gives a f—k about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?”

Larry David
“I’m a creature of habit and can’t tolerate anything that throws me off my normal routine,” the Seinfeld creator wrote in a December 2021 Air Mail essay. “That’s why I detest all holidays, but none as much as Christmas. There’s the loathsome music. The movies with their ridiculous, treacly sentiments. The presents—thinking about them, shopping for them (never without resentment), and the attendant pile of garbage that accumulates from opening them, an environmental disaster simultaneously taking place in living rooms across the country.”

Miley Cyrus
The “Wrecking Ball” singer shared her melancholy thoughts on Christmas via Instagram in 2016.
“Call me the grinch but Christmas always makes me feel deeply sad,” she wrote at the time. “It is filled with so much excessiveness & greed. I just hope everyone gives the gift of love and acceptance this year to not only their own family but those around the globe who don’t get everything they wished for due to life’s unfair circumstances! My parents always made Christmas about others. And I hope you find it in your heart to do the same!”

The “Crazy Train” singer admitted in December 2009 that he’s not a fan of the consumerism behind Christmas.
“I have to unravel all these f–king presents. What a f–king waste of paper,” he told Express at the time. “I f–king hate Christmas. I f–king hate it. Everything stops. When I used to drink, it was a good excuse to get f–ked. Now, I just hate it.”

Marion Cotillard
The Inception actress admitted that she’s “not a Christmas person” during a 2016 appearance on Live With Kelly.
“That was from a very young age,” she said. “I remember fighting with my mum because I didn’t want to get presents. … She was very mad at me and it was a fight every year because she couldn’t stand having me amongst the kids not having a present. And I was like, ‘I’m fine, I don’t need anything, I don’t want it.’”

Colin Firth
The Mamma Mia! star told the Daily Mail in November 2009 that he isn’t interested in Yuletide celebrations. “I have a profound loathing of Christmas,” he said at the time. “It’s sad really. At this time of year, I am careful not to switch on the radio because those novelty jingles make me homicidal and plunge me into the heart of Scrooge territory. I think Christmas turns us all into Scrooge. Everyone is trying to throw happy stuff at you, and that’s when I come over all humbug.”

Jennifer Aniston
The Friends star now throws an annual tree-trimming party for her friends — but she used to despise her family’s yuletide traditions.
“When I was a kid, they used to make me belly dance. On Christmas Eve,” she told Entertainment Weekly in 2016. “My dad’s whole side of the family is Greek, so I would dress up as a little Greek girl and then on Christmas, after taking belly-dancing classes, I would do that. It had nothing to do with Christmas, even. It was just, ‘Let’s humiliate Jen on Christmas.’”

Diego Luna
The Rogue One: A Star Wars Story actor told Celestrellas in 2010 that Christmas didn’t feel authentic to him. “I hate the wave of consumerism and the feeling that you have to do things that you normally don’t have to do at any other time of the year,” he said at the time.

Noel Gallagher
The Oasis singer doesn’t just hate Christmas, he hates it “with a passion.” In a 2017 speech, he referred to what many consider the most wonderful time of the year as a “f–king stain on society” that includes “too much food, too much ‘We Are The World,’ the jumpers, the TV presenters, the s–t adverts, the f–king weather.” Tell us how you really feel, Noel.
