Sadie Robertson Huff is holding tight to Easter traditions — but this year, the holiday carries a deeper emotional weight for her family.
Huff gave a glimpse into how the Robertson family celebrates the religious holiday in an interview with Fox News Digital. Huff explained she likes to blend faith-centered traditions with a day of celebration, relying on Minno’s “Laugh and Grow Bible for Kids.”
“We go to church, and then we go to my grandma’s house, and she does a big Easter egg hunt. And it’s so fun,” Huff recalled. “We do the whole thing.”
However, this year might look a bit different as Huff and her husband celebrate his grandmother’s 85th birthday.

“We’re gonna go to her traditional service with her and sing all the hymns, be with their family, and just celebrate, again, the hope we have, and I’m super excited about that,” Huff said.
“I was raised on hymns and there’s something really special to get to sing hymns on Easter.”

Huff acknowledged how Easter celebrations often risk losing focus on their religious meaning. The reality TV star recalled how cultural traditions can overshadow the holiday’s central message.
“When I think back to like childhood Easter, I think about the Easter bunny and the Easter basket and the Easter egg hunts. And I was like — I do feel like with Christmas, even though it is fun too, and we do presents and everything, you know, it’s the birth of Jesus. Like that is front and center. We’re singing the songs, we’re doing the whole thing. But then Easter, it almost feels like — we don’t talk about the resurrection as much. We’re talking about like, ‘Hey, when is the Easter egg hunt after church? When is the thing?‘”
Huff said that dynamic creates a challenge when it comes to breaking down Easter’s meaning in a way children can grasp. The 28-year-old host of the “WHOA That’s Good” podcast shares three kids with her husband, Christian Huff.
“It is hard to explain something like Easter to little minds because there’s death involved and resurrection involved,” she explained. “And there’s so many big things and big concepts.”

Huff said her family’s recent experience with loss shaped how she approached those conversations, giving her a real-world way to explain faith, death and hope. The family’s patriarch, Phil Robertson, passed away on May 25, 2025. Robertson struggled with Alzheimer’s in his final months, but a cause of death was not publicly disclosed.
“It’s sweet, and it’s hard, but my grandfather did pass away. And so, we’ve had to talk about death with them.“
Huff said she turned to that experience to help her children understand why Easter is celebrated while reinforcing the hope at the center of her faith.
“You tie in your real-life experience, and you go, ‘Remember how we were able to even laugh and have fun when Papaw Phil died? That’s only because we had the hope of heaven, and we were remembering the stories of Papaw Phil and the way he lived his life for Jesus,'” Huff explained. “And so it’s tying it all back. It’s making sure they understand how it all connects.”

Minno’s “Laugh and Grow Bible Easter” special also helped Huff show her kids the deeper meaning behind the festive Easter celebrations. The children’s special breaks down the whole story of Jesus’ death and resurrection.
“Not sugarcoating it at all,” Huff noted. “We’re talking about the death, talking about burials, talking about the resurrection, but it’s in a way that’s entertaining and kids can actually understand it. And my kids are kids that have big questions.”
Huff recalled a “big question” her four-year-old daughter, Honey, recently asked her.
“They’re always asking me something like, last night, Honey said, ‘I got a big one for you.’ She’s like, ‘Does God sleep?’ And I was like, ‘Actually, no, the Bible says that he never sleeps or slumbers, he’s always watching over you.’ So that one I had in my back pocket.“

“But sometimes you don’t know how to answer these big questions, and I love that through entertainment, the Minno app is showing kids the answers to their big little questions.“
She added that it’s a “super huge win for families who are looking to teach their kids some bigger Bible lessons that they might not feel super confident answering.”
