Rose Matafeo shares childhood Christmas traditions and new role in Junior Taskmaster
Comedian Rose Matafeo shared her unique Christmas traditions from her childhood in New Zealand, where her family celebrated without a tree and exchanged $2 gifts. A memorable highlight was a "lolly man," usually her uncle, who would run with bags of sweets for children to chase. Now based in the UK, Matafeo has gained fame through her standup and the show "Starstruck." She recently became the host of "Junior Taskmaster," a spin-off for children, and is also voicing a character in "Moana 2," expanding her appeal to younger audiences. Matafeo plans a quiet Christmas in London this year, reflecting on her past experiences. She humorously noted her desire for moments of silence amid the festivities, contrasting with her friends' more traditional wishes for joy and excitement.
