Fixer Upper couple Chip and Joanna Gaines are infamous for a beautiful holiday spread — and Thanksgiving and Christmas are no different. As Chip and Joanna’s kids get older, the traditions change. And Joanna reflected on the holidays now that her children are less “touchy-feely.”
Joanna Gaines talked about having her kids home for the holidays
Joanna Gaines loves the holiday season, as it means she and Chip Gaines get to spend ample time with their family.

Drake is the oldest at 19 years old, Ella Rose is 17, Duke is 15, Emmie Kay is 13, and Crew is just 5.
While four of the five Gaines kids still live at home, Drake headed to college this past year. And the transition proved challenging for Joanna.

Chip and Joanna Gaines may be approaching a saturation point in Waco. Since the couple first let cameras roll on their home renovation operation with 2013’s Fixer Upper, an unrivaled hit for then-network HGTV, the Gaineses have managed to transform their Central Texas town into the hub for a thriving entertainment and lifestyles brand. There, they’ve built a retail empire, started a successful magazine, launched a TV network and, as of this autumn, opened a hotel — all while becoming household names for a large portion of America. “We’ve only got 33 rooms,” says Chip, his Lone Star State modesty coming through during a late-October Zoom alongside his wife. “I don’t even think this qualifies as a boutique hotel.”
“It’s still 50,000 square feet,” notes Joanna, who began renovating the defunct Shriners lodge in 2019, when the youngest of their five children was barely a year old. (They sent their...

Chip and Joanna Gaines rose to fame on the popular HGTV show Fixer Upper, which ran for five seasons from 2013 to 2018. During their time on the show, the couple helped clients see a vision for their dream homes, and Chip and Joanna brought that home to life.

After leaving HGTV in 2018, Chip and Joanna went on to launch their own TV network, Magnolia Network. However, Chip recalled in a 2023 conversation with Jimmy Fallon that he accidentally announced the network too soon — and thought he might get taken away in “handcuffs” afterward.
