Thomas Rhett's two daughters are two and four-years-old, and as they both love Christmas. As their family continues to grow with his wife Lauren expecting their third child anyway now, the couple are looking to start some Christmas traditions of their own.

Thomas tells us, “I think a lot of them are gonna be stemmed on traditions that we grew up having, like, whether it’s opening one gift on Christmas Eve or always getting new ornaments for the Christmas tree.”

One Christmas tradition Thomas would be happy to break is having a real Christmas tree, which I something Lauren is dead set on. He says, “I wish we could get a fake one but you know, we’re gonna get a real one for forever probably.”

Rhett's family has come up with a few traditions of their own already. He says, “We always watch The Santa Clause at least a thousand times before Christmas actually gets there, and we still kind of celebrate Christmas five or six days after Christmas, as well, because we’re not ready for it to end. And we always decorate our house and we love Christmas. It’s our favorite time of the year, and as our kids get older, hopefully, they can help us make some new traditions.”

His wife Lauren posted to Instagram recently, "Faaavvorite time of year is herrreee."
