From opening presents to glamorous festive outfits, famous faces from across the country took to social media on Wednesday to give insight into their Christmas Day celebrations.
And leading the way was Cristiano Ronaldo, who said ‘the most important part of Christmas’ is family as he shared a fun moment with his girlfriend and children from Lapland.
The 39-year-old footballer beamed as he donned matching tartan pajamas with the youngsters and his glamorous partner Georgina Rodriguez, 30.
The family seemed to be having a great day as they sat around the table for a delicious looking turkey dinner.
Ronaldo made the most of the Saudi Pro League (SPL) winter break by taking his family to Lapland for a dreamy Christmas.
Lapland is Finland’s northernmost region and is known for its ski resorts, the Northern Lights, while it is also widely regarded as the official home of Santa Claus.

He shared several posts on social media during the trip, including one that showed him lying in the snow down to his shorts as he showed off his impressive physique.
Ronaldo accompanied the photo – which showed him grinning – with the caption: ‘Merry Christmas, everyone.’
They visited Santa Claus, while also doing various activities in the snow, including what appeared to be Ronaldo riding a ski-doo.
However, the Portuguese superstar did not participate in any particular activity due to his position as a footballer.
This is because players’ contracts typically ban them from extreme sports such as skiing for fear of injury, while Ronaldo’s family try their hand at winter sports instead.
Elsewhere on December 25, married couple Chrissy Teigan and John Legend will spend their Christmas Day in London.
The 38-year-old model and her singer husband, 45, also opted for matching pajamas as they opened presents with their children.
Lizzie Cundy brought the glitz and glamor to the big day in a dramatic busty red and gold sequin ball gown as she wished her followers a Merry Christmas.
The TV personality, 56, looked stunning in the dazzling ensemble as she posed up a storm on her steps in front of a beautiful tree.

The Loose Women star, 41, appeared to be over the moon as Richard lovingly leaned over to plant a kiss on his wife’s cheek.
She wrote in her caption, “Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! We were woken up by the girls at what felt like 1am (it was still pitch black outside, let’s put it that way).
“But they were SO excited that Santa was there and that’s my favorite part of Christmas, seeing them so excited and capturing those memories of them together (my other favorite part is FINALLY the Elf on the Shelf ending, that elf would may be little, but he is doing a lot of work coming up with new scenarios for him every night)’
The TV star concluded with, “Sending love from our family to yours, and I hope you all have a beautiful day.”
Strictly Come Dancing star Karen Hauer and her boyfriend Simon Davidson rang in the big day with some Christmas cheer from the comfort of their bed.
