While we all recover from the madness of Christmas Day, photos and videos and flooding our feeds with glimpses of how celebrities were spending theirs.
While some stars have stayed put and embraced a snug Christmas, others have packed their bags in search of warmer climates or festive adventures abroad.
Social media has been filled with snapshots of luxury getaways, family trips, and winter escapes far from Britain’s freezing conditions.
High-profile names, including Vogue Williams and Simon Cowell, are among those leading the festive divide.
There’s a clear split between celebrities keeping things traditional in the UK – like Nick Grimshaw and Vicky Pattison – and those jetting overseas for a more exotic Christmas.
Here’s how your favourite celebrities are celebrating the most wonderful time of the year, from Victoria Beckham to Lily Allen.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria and David Beckham shared a heart-warming video on Instagram showing the couple in each others’ arms as they danced to Barbara Streisand’s Guilty ft. Barry Gibb.
The pair were swaying together while looking lovingly into each others’ eyes as the lyrics played: ‘We’ve got nothing to be sorry for’.
It comes after an alleged family feud that has seen their eldest son, Brooklyn, spending Christmas separately.
Nick Grimshaw
It was a busy day for Nick Grimshaw who hosted a whopping 11 people for Christmas lunch yesterday.
The radio DJ is engaged to movement director and choreographer Meshach Henry, and the couple looked to be in hosting mode as they celebrated with loved ones.
Nick joked on his Instagram dump: ‘And not one confirmed report of food poisoning as of time of posting.’
He appears to be cleansing today with a green juice, as per his Instagram story.
Vicky Pattison
Now she’s no longer soaring across the dance floor on Strictly, Vicky Pattison can be found getting festive in the house she shares with husband Ercan Ramadan.
Vicky and Ercan went from cosy to classy in pictures on her Instagram grid that show the pair in matching pyjamas and smart Christmas outfits.
The dogs, Max and Milo, had their own festive looks too and looked to be a big part of the celebrations.
On her Instagram story, one of the dogs can be seen licking ‘Daddy’s toes’ as the couple chilled together watching TV…
‘And you thought me necking on with him [the dog] was weird’, Vicky wrote.
Vogue Williams
It’s a warm(er) Christmas for Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews as they celebrate with their young family in Spain.
We’re warmer just looking at the gorgeous pictures, shared by the couple on Instagram and showing their three children in matching tartan outfits.
Vogue even managed to get herself to the gym and posed in a gorgeous mirror selfie with the caption: ‘Not for everyone on Christmas day’. Think you might be in the minority there, Vogue!
Lily Allen
Lily Allen is enjoying her first officially single Christmas following her split from David Harbour – and she’s certainly not moping around.
Earlier this year, the LDN hitmaker and Stranger Things star parted ways, with the pop star later releasing a record based on their marriage’s demise, with plenty of suggestions that infidelity was involved on his part.
Still riding high on West End Girl’s success, Lily posed in a series of flirty snaps by her Christmas tree, wearing frilly lace lingerie and pink stilettos.
Naturally, in true celeb fashion, underneath was covered with the iconic orange Hermes boxes, suggesting Lily’s daughters are going to be the envy of all their mates once today is over.
Simon Cowell
Simon Cowell has jetted off to Barbados with his partner, Lauren Silverman, and their families, swapping the British chill for Caribbean sunshine.
Lauren shared a series of snaps from the tropical getaway, including a striking photo of herself in a red swimsuit aboard a luxury boat with sons Eric, 11, and Adam, 19.
Other images showed the family soaking up the scenery on pristine beaches, with Eric preparing for a scuba-diving session while Simon was seen cooking for his loved ones as they relaxed by the water.
Rochelle Humes
Rochelle Humes has also ditched the UK winter, heading to Dubai with husband Marvin and their children Alaia Mai, Valentina, and Blake.
The former Saturdays singer, 36, took to Instagram on Christmas Eve to show off her toned figure in a black bikini paired with a shimmering green beach cover-up.
She later shared stunning views of the Dubai skyline and sprawling beaches as she enjoyed the festive sunshine.
Still, she’s made sure to transport the same festive magic for her little ones, who have new matching pyjamas and the biggest smiles on their faces.
‘Happy babies..what more could we ask for?’, the mum-of-three wrote sweetly in her caption.
As for Christmas Day, the TV presenter also tucked into a roast, proving you can take the Brit out of Britain, but tradition will always follow.
Stacey Solomon
Back in the UK, Stacey Solomon marked Christmas Eve at home, giving fans an insight into festive preparations at Pickle Cottage in Essex.
The 36-year-old shared glamorous snaps of her family getting dressed up for their annual Christmas card photoshoot alongside husband Joe Swash and her children.
Stacey thanked followers for their support throughout 2025 and shared a heartfelt message for those finding the festive season difficult, adding that she was looking ahead to the new year with excitement and hope.
‘I hope you have a magical Christmas,’ she wrote. ‘Sending love to all of you who find this time of year extremely difficult. And to those of you who give up your precious time to give to others at such a special time of year, you’re amazing.’
‘There’s so much I want to catch up with you all in 2026,’ Stacey then teased. ‘And I genuinely can not wait to do that.
‘A fresh year, ready for some changes 🥹’
David Tennant
Doctor Who favourite David Tennant and his wife, Georgia, are enjoying a low-key kind of Christmas.
Taking to Insta, fellow actress Georgia shared a loved-up snap in matching PJs as the couple cuddled up by the fire.
‘Happy Christmas! love, mum and dad x’, she wrote.
Molly-Mae Hague
Since reuniting, it seems Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury’s relationship has only gone from strength to strength.
The pair are now living together in their new Cheshire mansion, which has been fully decked out for the festive period.
‘Just want to soak up this evening’, the Maebe founder wrote on Christmas Eve as the happy couple and toddler daughter Bambi donned matching PJs.
Their Christmas tree also has plenty of presents underneath (we spy a Selfridges bag), and Molly’s sister Zoe helped create some Santa magic for the little one by leaving snowy footprints in the hallway.
Martin Kemp
Martin Kemp chose to stay at home for Christmas, sharing a tongue-in-cheek snap of himself pushing wife Shirlie in a wheelbarrow on a farm.
The photo referenced his recent I’m A Celebrity appearance, where he famously revealed that the wheelbarrow position was how the couple conceived son Roman.
Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo
Jamie Laing is celebrating his first Christmas as a dad after welcoming baby boy Ziggy with wife Sophie Habboo earlier this month.
The podcaster shared a series of intimate snaps showing Sophie cradling their newborn early on Christmas Eve morning, as well as festive shots of their beautifully decorated home.
Matching pyjamas, cosy cuddles on the sofa and strolls through London with their buggy marked a joyful start to family life in their newly renovated £12million home.
Katie Price
Katie Price is also staying home this Christmas, posting a photo with eldest son Harvey as she prepared for Christmas Day.
‘Quick lunch out then home to prep food for Christmas dinner tomorrow,’ she wrote alongside the image.
She later shared a selfie with the caption, ‘Santa is coming tonight,’ following a turbulent year in the spotlight.
Olly Murs
Olly Murs is carrying on his favourite childhood traditions with his own kids.
The 2009 X Factor star shared a cute snap from home as he cuddled his daughter and sat beside Santa Claus.
‘For as long as I can remember Santa’s been coming every Christmas to see us and now Madi gets to experience it 🥹🎄’, wrote the singer, who shares daughter Madison and son Albert (born in September) with wife Amelia Tank.
‘One day she will understand it and how special it is’.
Dani Dyer
Dani Dyer shared an adorable snap of her two-year-old twins, Summer and Star, whom she shares with footballer Jarrod Bowen, dressed in matching pyjamas on Christmas Eve.
It’s been a rollercoaster few months for the former Love Islander, who had to withdraw from Strictly due to a foot injury before the first live show.
We wonder whether she’ll be watching the Christmas special episode?
Kerry Katona
‘Well this year definitely took me by surprise…’, Kerry Katona wrote on Instagram as she celebrated a very different Christmas from last.
Alongside the snap of her and boyfriend Paolo Margaglione in which Kerry beamed, she added that she is ‘forever grateful’ for him.
The former Atomic Kitten pop star, 45, met the personal trainer, 33, on Celebs Go Dating and certainly hasn’t been shy in packing on the PDA since making things official.
Ferne McCann
Ferne McCann celebrated the festive period after returning from Lapland UK, where she visited with fiancé Lorri Haines and her daughters.
The former Towie star shared memories of snowy strolls, posting letters to Santa, and meeting Father Christmas before showing off her indulgent Christmas Eve food spread at home.

Heidi Klum’s Christmas Instagram post shows her and her husband, Tom Kaulitz, twinning in red, green, and white plaid pajamas with her four children (Leni, 21, Henry, 20, Johan, 19, and Lou, 16), their respective partners, along with her brother-in-law Bill Kaulitz.
