Peter Gallagher recalls hearing "Chrismukkah" for the first time before it gained fame. The term, coined by his on-screen son Adam Brody as Seth Cohen in The O.C., merges Christmas and Hanukkah. Its purpose is to celebrate both holidays while uniting diverse backgrounds.

During an interview on Wednesday, October 23, at the opening of Left on Tenth on Broadway, Gallagher shared his thoughts. This event took place at the James Earl Jones Theatre in New York. Gallagher, who played Sandy Cohen, expressed initial admiration for the term. "I think that’s gonna stick," he stated when he first encountered it.

Recent Reflections on the Holiday

Rachel Bilson, also from The O.C., recently discussed Chrismukkah. Known for her role as Summer Roberts, Bilson expressed her desire to integrate this holiday into her life as a mother.

Bilson, 43, noted her enthusiasm for sharing Jewish traditions with her daughter, Briar Rose. "Chrismukkah itself is like its own holiday we haven’t really done," she explained. This year may mark their first observation.

Pride in Brody’s Achievements

Gallagher continues to stay connected with the O.C. cast and feels proud of Brody's recent Netflix success with Nobody Wants This. "I wouldn’t go as far as being a proud dad," he clarified, showing his support as a friend. He praises Brody’s talent at 44 years old, noting, "I’m glad he’s still doing his thing."

Gallagher is currently involved in the romantic comedy *Left on Tenth,* opposite Julianna Margulies, 58. This adaptation is based on Delia Ephron’s bestselling memoir.
