Kate Hudson’s Daughter Rani Looks So Excited to Meet Santa At a Family Holiday Party

Santa Claus is coming in 3 days (!!), and Kate Hudson’s 5-year-old daughter Rani Rose got to meet him before he heads off in his sleigh on Christmas Eve. In a new photo from a family holiday party, Rani looks adorable as she waits to meet Santa.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s son Wyatt Russell (who is Hudson’s half brother) and his wife Meredith Hagner hosted a family holiday party at their Los Angeles home. Hagner shared several photos from the event, one of which captioned Hudson’s daughter Rani and her dad Danny Fujikawa about to meet Santa. Rani is full of holiday cheer in a red ruffled dress with ballerinas, ornaments, and rocking horses, paired with red glittery tights and a green velvet bow in her hair. Her dad stands behind her as she smiles up at an elf sitting next to Santa. She is so excited to meet St. Nick!

“❤️snippets from the merriest night ❤️,” Hagner captioned the post, which also included photos of her baby bump, and a gorgeous, elaborate holiday dinner. Hagner is currently pregnant with baby number 2 with Wyatt, and they are also parents to son Buddy, 2.

Earlier this month, Hudson celebrated a different holiday with Rani and her son Bingham, 12, who she shares with ex Matt Bellamy. (She’s also mom to Ryder, 19, with ex Chris Robinson.) Her youngest kids helped her celebrate the first day of Hanukkah by lighting the menorah.

“Connecting to love, light, miracles and peace tonight on the first day of Hanukkah ✨” she captioned the post. “Happy Hanukkah everyone 🫶.”

This week, Hudson shared a sweet selfie of her fiancé Fujikawa and their daughter. “🎄❤️,” she simply captioned the heartwarming picture, where Rani is dressed in a red sweater with a white bow in her hair and Fujikawa is wearing a green sweater with a winter cap.

In another post, she shared photos of her home all decorated for the holidays and wrote about her favorite traditions. “Around our home lately 🎄 I love the holidays so much and throughout the years have collected trees, Santa’s, music boxes, snow villages, ornaments, and more,” the Almost Famous star wrote. “We bake, cook, sing, share laughs and create light to shine everywhere, we wish for love and peace.” It sounds amazing, right?

Hudson continued, “I am a lover of this time over year and soak every minute of it up. I guess that is a good metaphor for how I feel about life and celebrating our time here. It’s as fleeting as the holidays. Here today, gone tomorrow. So I choose to make it sweet and cozy. Everyday. And of course every Holiday. Wishing sweet and cozy to everyone ❤️💫🫶💫❤️ PS. More decorations and cozy to come 😉.”
