Christmas 2024: How Celebrities Celebrated the Holidays on December 25

While it may feel like celebrities celebrate Christmas all year round–Gifts! Parties! Flashing lights!—Hollywood still goes all out for the holidays. From Blue Ivy Carter's cameo in Beyoncé's stunning halftime performance to Jennifer Lopez's family trip to Aspen, here's how our favorite celebrities celebrated the holidays on December 25. With Christmas 2024 coinciding with the first night of Hanukkah, there was a lot to celebrate this year.

Beyoncé and Blue Ivy

Bey was scheduled to perform the halftime show of the Ravens-Texans game in her home town of Houston, Texas, and not only did she deliver a flawless performance of some of her Cowboy Carter tracks, she also brought out her daughter, Blue, a budding entertainer who voices one of the main lions in Mufasa, which is now in theaters.

The Beckhams

David, Victoria and their many children rang in the holiday as a family, with Posh making Festive Fishnets a thing. The family even got a visit from the one and only Saint Nick.

Of course, Victoria and David eventually slipped into something more comfortable.

The Kardashians

The Kar-Jenner family celebrated together and apart, showing off pictures from a photo booth that seems to be from a family party and their individual traditions at their homes. Kendall enjoyed dressing up in a Santa hat and silk dress, while Kourtney went head-to-toe Mrs. Claus for a vinyl exchange with her husband, Travis Barker, and posted some pics that are, uh, very them

Meanwhile, Kim Kardashian had a holly-jolly Christmas posting TikToks with her daughter, North West.

Reese Witherspoon

The Oscar winner and her three children went out for a meal at what looks like a luxury hotel. Ava Phillippe's dark lip is a serve.

Mariah Carey

The Queen of Christmas (she's got the number one song in the country for like the millionth year in a row, baby) celebrated festively with her twins, Moroccan and Monroe. A little obsessed with how Carey's in black tie and her kids are fully in pajamas.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco

The freshly-engaged couple a Hanukkah party in New York City. Dressed in a snowflake pjs and a cozy beanie, Gomez posed for a selfie with Blanco and the party's host, Jake Cohen. Will & Grace star Debra Messing was also in attendance at the holiday bash. Swipe to slide three of Cohen's Instagram roundup to see Gomez's festive look and slide 20 to see Blanco dance the hora.

Britney Spears

A Christmas miracle! Spears' son Jayden flew out to Los Angeles to see his mom for the first time in two years, and the pop star couldn't have been happier, writing on Instagram, “Best Christmas of my life !!! I haven’t seen my boys in 2 years !!! Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I’m speechless thank you Jesus !!!”

Olivia Munn and John Mulaney

For their first Christmas as a family of four – they welcomed a daughter, Mei, three months ago – the Munn-Mulaney clan made a wonderful mess. “Malcolm got safety glasses personally from the penguins of Madagascar and Méi is 100 days old today. All my Christmas wishes came true. 🎄🥹” the actor wrote on Instagram.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

Trav had a game to play on Christmas 2024 (the Chiefs low-key demolished the Steelers), and even broke a franchise touchdown record. Swift gave a post about it a “like” on Instagram.
