Your support makes all the difference.It was a Christmas Day like no other, even for celebrities.
Wherever you celebrated, chances are the festivies will have been slightly different than normal due to restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic.
In the UK, households were only permitted to mix on Christmas Day itself - unless you were in a tier 4 area, like London, Kent or Essex, in which case, you had to spend the day with your household or support bubble.
But that didn’t stop celebrities from making the most of the day and taking to social media to share their activities with fans and wish them a Merry Christmas.
From the Beckhams to the Biebers, here’s how celebrities spent Christmas Day this year.
The Beckhams
On Christmas Day, Victoria Beckham shared a photograph of herself and David Beckham with their four children, Brooklyn, 21, Romeo, 18, Cruz, 15, and Harper, seven.
The entire family is pictured at home wearing the same pair of matching navy blue silk pyjamas with white piping.
David is pictured wearing a Santa Claus hat while Romeo and Cruz are wearing beanies.
Victoria captioned the post: “Merry Christmas everybody!Sending lots of love from us all x family time is so precious x kisses”.
The Biebers
Justin and Hailey Bieber spent Christmas Day together at their home by the beach in Los Angeles.
The couple shared several posts between them over the course of the day, with Hailey sharing an old clip of herself as a 12-year-old performing in The Nutcracker.
Justin also shared the clip on Instagram alongside the caption: “If you didn’t know how cute my wife was already you will know after watching her tiny self in the nutcracker. My heart can’t take it.”
The 26-year-old also shared a photograph of himself and Hailey on the beach alongside the caption: “What a way to spend Christmas night with the absolute love of my whole existence. Obsessed with you so much it actually hurts lol."
The Kardashian-Jenners
The Kardashian-Jenner clan is renowned for their extravagant Christmas parties, with matriarch Kris Jenner usually throwing a party on Christmas Eve.
This year, however, no such party took place due to the pandemic.
But that didn’t stop family members from enjoying a typically lavish Christmas.
Kylie Jenner shared a photograph of herself on Instagram wearing a tight-fitted red sequin gown on Christmas Day with the caption “Mrs Claus” while her elder sister, Kendall Jenner, posted a photo of herself dressed as a Christmas present in a gold tinsel top and black knicker shorts.
Kim Kardashian West shared several photos of herself and her children spending Christmas with her sister, Kourtney Kardashian. She wore a bespoke Schiaparelli gown for the occasion.
“Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!” the 40-year-old captioned a photograph of herself on Instagram.
“A special thanks to @danielroseberry @schiaparelli for my amazing gown that made me feel festive this year even though our Christmas Eve party was cancelled. It was perfect to dress up and celebrate w just the fam this year. I hope everyone had a healthy and happy holiday [sic].”
Ariana Grande
The newly engaged singer spent Christmas with her fiance, Dalton Gomez.
The 27-year-old shared a series of photographs on Instagram of herself with Gomez and her family on Christmas Day alongside other friends and family members.
Grande captioned the post: “merry :)”.
Gigi Hadid
The model spent Christmas with her boyfriend, Zayn Malik, and their three-month-old daughter, whose name has not been publicly revealed.
Hadid shared a photograph of Malik holding their daughter on Christmas Day on her Instagram Stories.
