Jon Hamm Says the Holidays Are 'Doubly Nice' After Marrying Anna Osceola (Exclusive)

The 'Grimsburg' star tells PEOPLE that he is looking forward to "starting new traditions" with Osceola after tying the knot in June

Jon Hamm is celebrating his first holiday season as a newlywed!

The Grimsburg star, 52, tells PEOPLE that he is excited to start new Christmas traditions after marrying wife Anna Osceola this summer.

“The best part of it is just being together. That's really it,” he shared. “And it's doubly nice that we're married now and that's really fun, but hopefully that continues on and you start creating new traditions with your family and all of those things, and that's the best.”

The Mad Men alum adds the couple’s home is filled with holiday cheer, saying, “We do decorate. That's really nice. Part of that, getting the house in a place where the tree's up and there's stockings hung and presents are hidden and all that stuff is really fun, and it also just smells good.”

He continues: “I don't really understand how that works, but maybe it's a candle thing, but I don't know. Somehow it just starts to smell really good. The food gets going and the candles get going and the tree's there, [it’s] just [a] good smell. That, for me, evokes all of the things that the holiday season brings.”

In June, the couple tied the knot at Anderson Canyon in Big Sur, California — the same place where the Mad Men finale filmed — four months after PEOPLE that Hamm and Osceola got engaged.

They first reportedly met on the set of the AMC series Mad Men in 2015, before being spotted together on several occasions and romantically linked in 2020. The pair made their red carpet debut in March 2022 at an Oscars afterparty.

Hamm opened up about his relationship with Osceola in a September 2022 interview with Howard Stern on his SiriusXM show, revealing that he could see himself being married.

"This is all part of what I'm saying. This is another place in my life that I feel very settled and comfortable. I'm in a relationship right now and it's comfortable," he said, later adding that he's been able to sit down to start "really thinking about all that stuff, that's made the relationship that I'm in now even more meaningful and opened up the possibility of things like being married, having kids, defining a new version of happiness, life, wellness."

"It sounds hokey and whatever, but it's real and for one of a better word, it's what I'm working for. What else is there other than that?" he added before confirming that he is "very much so" in love.
