Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks.

Critics resurfaced a 2025 photo of Luna accepting chocolates from a Russian envoy featuring Putin's image, accusing her of Moscow ties, while the envoy himself backed her criticism of anonymous sourcing.
