The holiday season is all about food, family, fun, and work. So when Kohl’s tapped actress Ellie Kemper and NBA champion and Milwaukee Bucks icon Giannis Antetokounmpo for its Kohl’s Mama campaign, the duo joined forces to create the ultimate holiday survival guide we never knew we needed—and it turns out this unlikely duo isn’t so unlikely after all. Both stars prioritize family traditions, thoughtful gifts that people will actually use, and finding small ways to make the season feel special.
For Giannis, the comedy-driven campaign ahead of Christmas was a new experience. he told E! Working with Ellie made it feel easier. “What I want to say is that I’ve never been in a campaign like that. I had a really good time, but my time with Ellie was especially fun because she made me feel so comfortable. This is what I like. It was one of those campaigns where I felt like an actor. Ellie made me feel so comfortable because it was her space, her world. It was so much fun to work with her.”
The soon-to-be iconic duo comes together to offer refreshing, down-to-earth guidance for managing the holiday frenzy, starting with home essentials and gift ideas to get you through the holiday season.
