Tom Holland and Zendaya hope to bring their families together for a gathering next Christmas.

During Holland's appearance on the Dec. 18 episode of the Dish podcast, the Spider-Man actor shared that he will spend Christmas in the U.S. with Zendaya's family.

"I'll be with my girlfriend's family, which will be fun. Where we'll be is a secret," he said. "[Secret] to you guys," he joked. "I'll know where we're going."

Holland and Zendaya, both 28, met as costars in the Spider-Man movies. The pair confirmed their relationship in 2021.

While discussing their holiday traditions when it comes to visiting each others' families, Holland said both he and the Challengers actress would like to celebrate the holiday in the same place as both of their families moving forward.

"I think what we'd like to start doing is rather than spending it with each family each year is bring the families together. That's what I think we want to do next time," he said. "This time, because we're both actors, we're terrible at organizing things, so it hasn't happened yet. The thought's there. The idea has been planted."

"It's very decadent — it's big. There's the widest range of flavors I think, multiple different proteins and meats and stuff like that," he said of the American holiday's cuisine.

"I don't get the sort of candied yam sort of stuff. I sort of breezed over that. ... You start looking at it and you're like, 'Am I looking at marshmallows on already-sweet potatoes?' "
