Jennifer Aniston Party Sees Gwyneth Paltrow, Chelsea Handler Among Celebrity Guests
Jennifer Aniston is ringing in the holiday season amidst fellow celebrities with a big party held over the weekend.
The former "Friends" star invited several of her real-life friends over for a holiday bash at her home on Sunday. Guests included Gwyneth Paltrow and her husband Chris Martin, Courtney Cox, Chelsea Handler, Tobey McGuire and Robert Downey Jr., among many others.
Before the party got underway, Aniston and her fiancé Justin Theroux were spotted getting the party décor ready, including a 10-foot Noble Fir Christmas tree. Sunday's party marked the couple's third annual Christmas tree trimming party, according to E! News.
Also among the couple's party décor were twinkling white lights that outlined the roof of their Bel Air home. Adding to the festive feelings, California recently experienced a cold snap, and an insider revealed that guests enjoyed fire pits outside.
"The party was held outside on a cold night," the insider told E! News. "Everyone was bundled up in jackets and scarves to stay warm."
Also among the nearly 50 guests who attended the bash were Isla Fisher, Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Kathryn Hahn.
"It was a mix of Jen's friends and Justin's friends all coming together to celebrate the season," said a source close to Aniston and Theroux.
The annual party is reportedly Aniston's favorite, and the actress did not make any shortcuts on the details.
"The house was decorated beautifully and all the white lights were stunning," the source noted. "Jennifer made sure every detail was perfect."
The holiday party was not the first fete thrown by Aniston and her fiancé of one year. In August, the actress threw Theroux a party celebrating his 42nd birthday that saw many of the same guests as their Christmas party this year as well as Ellen DeGeneres, Ben Stiller, Jimmy Kimmel, Kristen Bell and John Krasinki.
