Todd and Julie Chrisley Celebrate Holiday Reunion After Prison, Emphasizing Togetherness

Todd and Julie Chrisley Celebrate Togetherness for the Holidays After Prison Release

Todd and Julie Chrisley are spending the holiday season together at home for the first time in nearly two years. The couple, stars of the reality show "Chrisley Knows Best," were convicted of federal bank fraud and tax evasion before serving 28 months in prison.

They were released in May after receiving presidential pardons from Donald Trump. Todd expressed that the most important aspect of the holidays is simply being reunited with family. Julie echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the blessing of celebrating Christmas together after their time apart.

The Chrisleys have three children together—Chase, Savannah, and Grayson—and Todd also has two children from a previous marriage. During their incarceration, Savannah led a public campaign to secure their pardons. She shared how difficult Christmas was without her parents but adapted by organizing alternative plans for her younger siblings.

Julie has already started decorating the home for the holidays and revealed details about their upcoming Thanksgiving feast. She mentioned traditional Southern dishes like turkey, dressing, macaroni and cheese, and sweet potatoes will be served. Todd joked about continuing their established holiday gift-giving customs, highlighting family dynamics and their longstanding traditions.

Looking ahead, Julie is set to host a new cooking show, which Todd described as a dream come true for fans who have requested it for years. Meanwhile, the couple’s reality show recently returned with "The Chrisleys: Back to Reality," showcasing their family’s journey post-prison and reigniting viewer interest.

Reflecting on their time apart, Todd and Julie acknowledged how their children had to mature during their absence. This experience, they said, has changed their perspective on parenting and allowed them to see their children as independent adults.

The couple plans to maintain their holiday routines without introducing new traditions this year. They also shared plans to eventually settle in Charleston, South Carolina, after an interim move to Texas. Todd envisions a family compound where their children and Julie’s mother, Nanny Faye, will all live together.

This holiday season marks a meaningful chapter for the Chrisleys as they embrace family unity and normalcy following a challenging period of separation and legal battle.
