Lauren Alaina on Her First Christmas as a Mom and the Traditions She’s Excited to Start With Baby Beni Doll [Exclusive]

This Christmas season is a very special one for Lauren Alaina and her husband Cam as it will be their first time getting to celebrate with their baby girl, Beni Doll.

Typically, the couple spends the holiday season traveling across the country to visit family on both sides, as they’re the youngest in their families. But now, with a little one in tow, Alaina says their holiday traditions are going to start to evolve over the next few years.

“In our whole marriage and dating, we traveled to everyone else. And I think this may be our last year to really be able to do that. She’s pretty portable right now. So this will be our last year to continue our traditions that we have done as a couple. And then I think next year we’ll start our own specific traditions for Beni,” she told Country Now during a Pupdate.

The “All My Exes” singer also shared that she’s excited to include her six-month-old in family celebrations that she cherished growing up, like decorating the cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.

“I can’t wait. She’s not going to know what the heck is going on. She’s going to be six months old, but we’re going to make her be a part of it,” Alaina said with a laugh.

After visiting with her family, they will head down to her husband’s family farm for Christmas Day, where the festivities will continue. For Lauren Alaina, the holidays are about more than just decorations and presents, they’re about creating joy and memories with family. Welcoming her own child into the festivities makes this holiday season particularly memorable and full of love.

“I think we’ve talked about maybe starting next year making a new plan and a new tradition for her. She’ll still be pretty young next year, but definitely the next year I think she’ll start knowing what’s going on. So we are not changing a ton this year, but we’re so excited just in general to have her for the holidays because holidays are all about family and love and happiness and that is what a baby is every day.

She joked that along with the excitement also comes a bit of stress as she is now tasked with packing everything they could need for their baby girl, in addition to their own necessities.

“I mean we got to take everything but the kitchen sink for this baby, even though she’s easy to travel with. We have so many things to take,” she joked.

The couple, who will celebrate their second wedding anniversary in February, welcomed their daughter into the world on June 11, 2025 weighing in at 7 lbs 13oz. and measuring 19 inches long. Since then, she has completely transformed their lives, and is poised to make this holiday season one they’ll never forget.

Lauren Alaina already got a small taste of what life looks like on the road with a baby, but they will dive in in full force when she joins Rascal Flatts in resuming their Life Is A Highway Tour in January 2026.
