Two icons, one quietly special night. At a screening of Song Sung Blue, Goldie Hawn, 80, and Neil Diamond, 84, shared a gentle, affectionate moment that felt rooted in history rather than headlines. The film stars Goldie’s daughter, Kate Hudson, making the evening as much about family as it was about legacy. By Goldie’s side was longtime partner Kurt Russell, while Neil attended with his wife, Katie Diamond. It wasn’t a red-carpet spectacle — just a rare pause in time, where decades of music, film, and love quietly met.

Kate Hudson and her family are ringing in the holidays with Neil Diamond.

Kate, 46, her fiancé Danny Fujikawa and more from the extended Hudson clan — including Goldie Hawn and her longtime partner Kurt Russell, brothers Oliver Hudson and Wyatt Russell, as well as Wyatt’s wife Meredith Hagner — stepped out together in Aspen, Colo., on Tuesday, Dec. 23, for a special screening of Kate’s new movie Song Sung Blue with Diamond, 84, himself in attendance alongside his wife, Katie McNeil Diamond.

The screening was held in Aspen, the Colorado ski town where Hawn, 80, and Russell, 74, have owned a home for decades and typically spend the holidays each year with Kate, Oliver, Wyatt, Boston Russell and their respective families. (Between each of the couple’s children, Goldie and Kurt are grandparents to eight.)

Kate stars in Song Sung Blue alongside Hugh Jackman, Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens and Jim Belushi.

The movie follows the Almost Famous star and Jackman, 57, as Mike and Claire Sardina, the married duo behind the Milwaukee-based Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning & Thunder. They formed the band in the late 1980s, and the movie tracks the couple’s course from “two down-on-their-luck musicians,” as an official synopsis reads, to a successful touring act.

Jackman and Kate joked with PEOPLE at the movie’s Dec. 11 New York City premiere that they were planning an actual concert tour as Lightning and Thunder. Kate also recently admitted to PEOPLE that Diamond and his music “wasn’t someone that I grew up with” while chatting about the movie.

“Having Neil Diamond’s music as the backdrop to play these real-life people, who just were such fans,” she said, calling the experience “wonderful.” “And then, watching the movie was just such a joy… I felt like it has a little bit of everything in it. It’s entertaining, but you walk away feeling inspired.”

Song Sung Blue is in theaters Dec. 25.
