TheUnchartedstar recently spilled the beans about his Christmas plans on theDishpodcast, and boy, did he leave us hanging. He’s planning to spend the holidays in America, with none other than his girlfriend’s family. (Let’s pause for a second—could they be any more adorable?) But wait: the exact location is a well-kept secret. The actor teased:
I’m going to be in America this year. I’ll be with my girlfriend’s family, which will be fun. Where we will be is a secret to you guys. I know where we’re going.
So yes, while we may not get a sneak peek of their holiday hideaway, we do know one thing: Holland and Zendaya’s Christmas 2024 will be full of family time—and maybe a little mystery, too. But here’s where it gets even more interesting: he revealed that he and Zendaya have a pretty unique idea for future holiday plans.
Instead of the classic ‘one year with my family, the next year with yours’ routine that many couples endure, these two want to bring their families together. Holland shared:
I think what we’d like to start doing is, rather than spending it with each family each year, bring the families together.
Although this plan hasn’t exactly come to life yet, the intention is there, and we’re just waiting for that magical year when Holland and Zendaya make it happen. He added:
That’s what I think we want to do next time. This time, because we are both actors, we’re terrible at organizing things, so it hasn’t happened yet, but the thought’s there. The idea has been planted.
And what would a family Christmas be without the adorable four-legged members?
Tom Holland and Zendaya’s Christmas vibes: Dogs, cooking, and heartwarming moments
Well, Tom Holland and Zendaya are on the same page there, too. They’re all about the inclusivity—bringing their dogs, Holland’s Doberman puppy and Zendaya’s spunky miniature schnauzer, Noon, are definitely part of the celebration. Because, a Christmas celebration isn’t complete unless the pups are involved.
And while we typically associate Holland with flipping through action scenes or donning superhero suits, there’s more to him than meets the eye—especially in the kitchen. He is also a chef in the making! In the same podcast, he shared that he’s been diving into vegetarian cooking—“because my girlfriend’s vegetarian.”That’s love on a plate, folks!
While we may not know all the details of Holland and Zendaya’s Christmas 2024 plans, one thing’s for sure: their holiday will be packed with love, family, dogs, and maybe a few veggie dishes tossed in for good measure.
A little throwback: From awkward first meeting to holiday magic
Before we get too lost in holiday fantasies, let’s take a moment to remember how it all began for these two. Tom Holland and Zendaya’s journey to 2024 Christmas plans actually started with an awkward moment, one that the former still remembers as embarrassing.
The two first met in 2016, and Holland confessed toThe Hollywood Reporterthat their initial meeting was a bit of a cringe-worthy experience:
My first meeting with Zendaya was very embarrassing, actually, for me. It just wasn’t my smoothest moment.
Zendaya, however, was quick to brush it off, saying:
I don’t remember this, but he says that there was some type of awkward hug shake thing.
Can you feel the cringe? Yet, it was clear from that moment on that something was brewing between the two, even if it took a little while for the sparks to catch fire. Jump ahead to when Zendaya walked into her firstSpider-Manaudition, and it didn’t take long for producers to realize she was the one. Holland recalled:
We did the first scene together, and I think the producers cast her, like, then.
And Zendaya? Well, she simply had to be herself, with the effortless charm that had already made her a household name.“She’s been doing it for such a long time that she had both of the things that we want: being a really good technical performer and also having a sort of effortless charisma,” saidSpider-Mandirector Jon Watts (viaBackstage). If that wasn’t proof enough of their connection, their undeniable on-screen chemistry sealed the deal.
‘Tomdaya’: From social media snippets toSpider-Manspeculations (& Zendaya’s savage tweet)
Now, let’s talk about the real star of the show: the ‘Tomdaya’ phenomenon. So, the summer of 2016 saw fans starting to whisper about their bond, mainly because they started showing up on each other’s social media feeds. Of course, this led to a flurry of speculation.
By 2017, sources began hinting that the two had taken their friendship to the next level while filmingSpider-Man: Homecoming. However, Zendaya quickly put the rumors to rest. She tweeted:
Wait wait…my favorite is when it says we go on vacations together HA! I haven’t been on a vacation in years!😂😭🤣hbu@TomHolland1996???https://t.co/zSkvcfzzTa
Holland, ever the jokester, responded with a quip:
@ZendayaDoes the press tour count 😂😝https://t.co/2WsstZPyde
And just like that, the gossip mill was back at it, though their witty responses did little to dispel the swirling rumors. Despite their humorous deflections, the public just couldn’t get enough of their connection. They seemed to be everywhere together—attending red carpet events, or dining with Zendaya’s parents.
Yet, they always maintained that they were just good friends, and perhaps that’s what they were—friends with a bond so strong, it almost made it impossible to believe there wasn’t more to it.
There was one particular incident, though, that truly highlighted Holland’s loyalty and protectiveness over Zendaya. In 2016, her casting as MJ sparked a wave of backlash, especially due to the fact that theMalcolm & Marieactress was cast in a role traditionally associated with a White character. Of course, in true Holland style, he didn’t let it slide. Speaking withCollider, he defended his girlfriend, saying,
I feel like our generation of people are moving on from that. This whole, you’re able to’t cast someone who’s not of the right race for a character and such, and I really feel like we’re breaking through and changing that.
Zendaya also responded with poise and power, stating,
I don’t know what America you live in, but from what I see when I walk outside my streets of New York right now, I see lots of diversity and I see the real world and it’s beautiful, and that’s what should be reflected and that’s what is reflected so you’re just going to have to get over it.
Ergo, the California-born actress shut down the criticism, and it was clear to all that she wasn’t about to let anyone rain on her parade.
Tom Holland and Zendaya’s marriage plans?
When it comes to love stories that feel like they were ripped straight from a rom-com, Tom Holland and Zendaya take the cake. From the moment they shared their first scene inSpider-Man: Homecomingin 2016, their chemistry had us all swooning harder than a high school prom night.
And now, the wait is finally over: word on the street (viaLife & Style) is that these two are ready to walk down the aisle. Yes, wedding bells are ringing for the power couple, and things are getting seriously official.

According to sources close to them, the couple has been “living like a married couple already”,and the next step is simply a matter of time:
As Tom and Zendaya move closer to having a wedding next year, basically living like a husband and wife already, and continuing to book multiple film projects together, Rob is cheering them on.
It’s not just the couple’s own personal milestone that’s creating a buzz. The recent arrival ofRobert Pattinson’s first child with his partner Suki Waterhouse seems tohave sparked something inHolland and Zendaya.
Witnessing theTwilightactor embrace fatherhood has allegedly made theSpider-Manstar even more eager to settle down with his longtime love. Now, the duo seems ready to take the leap into their forever together, with nothing but love and support from fans and friends (and the internet, of course).
And now comes the juicy bit—who will stand beside Holland as his best man? Everyone had assumed it would beRobert Downey Jr., the beloved mentor who took Holland under his wing from their very first Marvel days. And fans have been certain that theIron Manstar would play a major role in the wedding.
But, if sources from Life & Style are to be believed, Holland’s growing bond with hisDevil All the Timeco-star could result in Pattinson stealing the spotlight on the big day. Not only has Pattinson’s friendship with Holland deepened over time, but it seems he’s ready to take on therole of best man—or at least, a groomsman—at Holland and Zendaya’s wedding.
The insider shared:
If things keep going in this direction, Rob is going to figure into their wedding as a best man or groomsman, and he absolutely wants the new, little families they are starting to be close going forward.
As the countdown to their big day kicks off, we can’t help but daydream about the wedding of the century. Will it be a glamorous affair with Hollywood flair, or a cozy, intimate celebration full of laughter, love, and a few well-timed pranks? Well, whatever they have up their sleeves, we know that it’s going to be as heartwarming as their love story!
