From opening presents to glamorous festive outfits, famous faces from up and down the country took to social media on Wednesday to share an insight into their Christmas Day celebrations.
And leading the way was Cristiano Ronaldo, who gushed that ‘the most important part of Christmas’ is family, as he shared a cosy snap with his girlfriend and children from Lapland.
The 39-year-old footballer beamed as he donned matching tartan pyjamas with the youngsters and his glamorous partner Georgina Rodriguez, 30.
The family seemed to be having an incredible day as they gathered around the table for a delicious-looking turkey dinner.
Ronaldo made the most of the Saudi Pro League’s (SPL) winter break by whisking his family away 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 considered as the official home of Santa Claus.

He has shared several posts to social media from the trip, including one where he was stripped down to his shorts in the snow, while showing off his impressive physique.
Ronaldo accompanied the photo – which saw him grinning – with the caption: ‘Merry Christmas, everyone.’
They visited Santa Claus, while they were also spotted doing various activities in the snow, including what looked to be Ronaldo riding on a ski-doo.
However, the Portuguese superstar didn’t take part in one particular activity due to his position as a footballer.
This is because within players’ contracts, they are typically banned from extreme sports such as skiing, for fear of injury issues, with Ronaldo’s family instead trying out the winter sport.
Elsewhere on December 25, married couple Chrissy Teigan and John Legend are spending their Christmas Day in London.
The 38-year-old model and her singer husband, 45, also opted for matching pyjamas as they opened presents with their children.
Lizzie Cundy brought the glitz and glamour to the big day in a dramatic busty red and gold sequinned ballgown, as she wished her followers a Merry Christmas.
The TV personality, 56, looked incredible in the dazzling ensemble, as she posed up a storm on her staircase in front of a stunning tree.

She wrote in her caption: ‘Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! We were woke up at what felt like 1am by the girls (it was still pitch black outside, lets put it that way).
‘But they were SO excited for Santa to have been and that’s my favourite part of Christmas, seeing them so excited and capturing those memories of them together (my other favourite part, is FINALLY the end of elf on the shelf, that elf might be little but he’s a lot of work inventing new scenarios for him every night)’
The TV star signed off with: ‘Sending love from our family to yours, and I hope you all have a lovely day.’
Strictly Come Dancing star Karen Hauer and her boyfriend Simon Davidson rang in the big day with a Christmassy snap from their comfy bed.
