“I sit and I crochet, or I go to the gym in the barn, or I go out to coffee with a fellow parent or a friend upstate. I get a lot of alone time on a train when I go to the city. If I have to go to the city, I take the train. And I get like an hour and 40 minutes alone time each way. And I’m always crocheting — knitting, crocheting, that’s my lifestyle,” she explains.

Seyfried also tells PEOPLE that her upcoming holiday plans entail as little travel as possible, as being home at Christmas is “sacred” to her.

“So the tradition is, really, we go, we get a tree, we decorate, and we’re home for Christmas. And then my daughter and I — for New Years — fly to my best friend’s house down south and spend New Years with them,” adding that it’s a “girls-trip” of sorts.
