A$AP Rocky is ready to praise his family this holiday season. 

When it comes to Christmas, the “Everyday” artist is already excited about having a classic celebration with partner Rihanna, their sons RZA, 3, and Riot, 2, as well as their new baby girl Rocki, whom the couple welcomed in September. 

“I’m looking forward to white Christmas with snow and some chestnuts roasting,” A$AP exclusively shared with E! News at the 2025 Gotham Film Awards in New York City Dec. 1. “Logs in the fireplace—stuff like that.”

“Togetherness,” the 37-year-old gushed. Just being together, that’s enough.”

In fact, A$AP said being able to spend time with his kids is all he can “ask for” on his wish list.

“It’s a dream come true,” he added. “Be with your family and watch them grow.”

That’s why he was also thrilled to have Rihanna, 37, by his side at the red carpet event. As he told E!, “Every day is date night. It’s awesome.”

Since becoming a girl dad earlier this year, the Grammy nominee has been candid about how it has changed his life in ways he didn’t expect

“Being a girl dad at this point kinda makes you more vulnerable,” he shared with E! at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards in November. “And I’m ready for that stage in my life. It makes you way more agile and precious with everything.”

But, as A$AP noted, “Being a dad in general is just amazing.”

He added, “It’s life changing.”
