HGTV fans are used to seeing “Property Brothers” star Jonathan Scott dressed for renovation messes in his typical handyman wardrobe of flannel shirts, jeans, work boots, and tool belts.
But during the holidays, the 46-year-old turns seriously festive, with a wide array of Christmas sweaters and accessories at the ready. During a video tour of the Los Angeles home he shares with fiancée Zooey Deschanel — posted on December 9, 2024 — Scott revealed just how extensive his holiday wardrobe is, emptying out a drawer full of sweaters and pajamas one by one.
Jonathan Scott Says He Loves to Add Christmas Lights to His Holiday Sweaters
Dressed in — of course — a Christmas sweater, Scott’s tour of his home’s elaborate holiday decorations took up most of the 10-minute video posted on December 9. But during the last couple of minutes, he took viewers upstairs to a bedroom with a built-in wardrobe that included storage for his beloved Christmas sweater collection.
“There is a drawer and yes, that drawer stays filled with Christmas sweaters all year round,” Scott told viewers as he revealed a bottom drawer full of neatly-folded sweaters. “And this is only like a 10th of what I actually have, but these are the ones that I like the most.”
Scott then pulled out each item and shared why he loves it, starting with a She & Him holiday house sweater, promoting Deschanel’s nearly 20-year-old musical duo, to which he added tiny Christmas lights.
“Boom,” he exclaimed, turning the lights on. “I put the lights in myself. There’s a little Christmas sweater hack for you. You can buy these lights that have, like, little bulbs on them, for five bucks at any dollar store. And then you can put them into the sweater. Just push it through the wool (from the inside) and it stays in place. Cool way to fancy that up.”
Next, Scott pulled out a multicolored sweater with a “cool Santa” face stitched on the front.
“Can’t have Santa and not have Rudolph,” he said as he unfolded another colorful sweater with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer on the front.
“This is one of my favorites,” Scott said as he pulled out a festive sweater featuring Darth Vader surrounded by candy canes and snowflakes and hummed the Star Wars theme song after sharing, “Also, I put lights in it. The Darth Vader Christmas sweater!”
Other wardrobe items Scott shared were a holiday-themed She & Him vintage t-shirt (“I know somebody in the band so I get it for free,” he whispered with a smirk), a pair of plaid antlers, the “Property Brothers Forever Home” holiday sweater he received from HGTV in 2022, two flannel holiday “onesies,” and his favorite pair of Christmas plaid pajamas.
Jonathan Scott Joked That He Makes Zooey Deschanel Dress Up in Her ‘Elf’ Costume Each Year
Given that Scott is such a huge fan of Christmas, it’s only fitting that he’s engaged to Deschanel, who starred as Jovie opposite Will Ferrell in the modern Christmas classic “Elf.” In December 2023, “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon asked how big a fan he is of the movie “and if Zooey gets weirded out by that.”
“Well, it weirds her out because I make her dress up like Jovie, blonde wig and everything,” Scott joked.
“She doesn’t like watching herself so much and stuff, but I love that movie,” he continued. “I’ve loved that movie for 20 years … so the kids and I watch it.”
Scott is stepdad to Deschanel’s two children — nine-year-old Elsie and seven-year-old Charlie — whom she shares with ex-husband Jacob Pechenik.
Scott’s twin brother and fellow HGTV star Drew Scott then chimed in, “If (Zooey) knew how much Jonathan was obsessed with that show before meeting her, she probably would have had a restraining order against him!”
