Okay, let's be real—celebrities went all out this festive season. We got served music records, sweet family gatherings, and many unforgettable moments that had everyone talking on social media. Let's recap on a few.
Record-Breaking Christmas Tunes, Show-Stopping Performances
In 2024's holiday season, Mariah Carey proved (again!) why she's the real Christmas queen. Her holiday hit "All I Want For Christmas Is You" just hit a crazy milestone. It now has over 2 billion streams on Spotify. Plus, it stayed on Billboard's Hot 100 for 17 straight weeks, something no other Christmas song has done before.
Meanwhile, Christmas Day in Houston got extra special when Beyoncé rocked the Ravens-Texans halftime show, belting out songs from Cowboy Carter. The crowd went wild when her daughter Blue Ivy popped up on stage to join her mom, rounding up the lovely Christmas surprise.
Family Time and Sweet Reunions
Some stars got exactly what they wanted for Christmas this year, and that is precious time with their loved ones. Take Britney Spears, for example, who had the best gift of all when her son Jayden came to visit for the first time in two years. She couldn't hold back her joy on Instagram, writing, "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 !!!"
Trust the Kardashians to throw an amazing holiday bash, something they are really good at. Kourtney went full Christmas mode, dressing up as Mrs. Claus while hanging out with Travis Barker for their vinyl swap. Kim kept things fun by making TikToks with North West. Meanwhile, Tia Mowry and her kids got super cozy in matching PJs for their Christmas tree photos. How cute is that?
Stars Celebrate Their Way
This year's celebrity Christmas celebrations were anything but boring. Victoria Beckham started a trend with her "Festive Fishnets" look, while down under, Chris Hemsworth and his crew kept it casual in summer onesies. Y'know, Christmas in Australia means sunshine.
Some stars hit the slopes, like J.Lo, who took her family on a snowy Aspen getaway. Others, like Porsha Williams and Phaedra Parks, soaked up the sun in Lagos for Detty December. And let's not forget about the stars who spread some Christmas cheer. We're talking about Niecy Nash and Jessica Betts who brought smiles to kids' faces at Los Angeles Children's Hospital.
