Celebs all across the globe are finding ways to have a very Merry Christmas. While some travel to new countries with loved ones, others buckled down at home to have a special Christmas with their families.
Blake Shelton, Nina Dobrev, P. Diddy, Snooki, Evelyn Lozada, the Kardashians and many many more were spotted out about for the holidays as they shared their Christmas memories via Instagram and Twitter.
“The Voice” coach Blake Shelton revealed that despite being a country megastar, he isn’t that different from everyone else when the holidays come around.
“If we know there are gifts at somebody’s house, we’ll swing by,” Shelton said jokingly.
Of course, with his family and his wife Miranda Lambert’s family living in two different states the family does have to prepare for a road trip every year.
“We spend Christmas Eve with Miranda’s family in Lindale, Texax, then drive up to Oklahoma and have Christmas Day with my mom,” he added. “We try to hit everyone.”
While Blake is used to traveling from state to state to see his family and his in laws, spending Christmas together is somewhat new for “The Vampire Diaries” stars Nina Dorbrev and Ian Somerhalder.
The stars have been together for three years now and shared how excited they were to be spending the holidays together this year.
“Nina and Ian are excited to celebrate the holidays together,” an insider close to the couple said. “It’s a sign they’re taking things to the next level.”
Kate Hudson got one of the best gifts of all this season as she will spend her holidays as a fiancée rather than as just a girlfriend. Hudson is currently engaged to Matthew Bellamy, but will be splitting with her lover to spend some quality time with her family back home in Colorado.
“The whole family comes up – my brothers and all of the kids,” she told Access Hollywood. “At some point during Christmas, we all get together and do that. The kids ice skate and people drink hot cocoa. We’re a super traditional Christmas family. Mom and I decorate the house. We make snowmen – it’s kind of magical.”
Not every celeb got the chance to talk about their plans for the holidays, but they did share their magical Christmas mornings with Instagram and Twitter.
Toya Wright shared photos of her hubby Memphitz along with daughters Reginae and Mikkaya on their way to a pre-Christmas vacation in the Bahamas.
Also soaking up some sun in the Bahamas for the holidays was reality star Evelyn Lozada who brought along daughter Shaniece for some serious R&R.
Of course, America’s favorite reality family was also busy having a huge Christmas celebration with close friends and family.
The Kardashians posted photo after photo of special Christmas moments they shared from teenage sister Kylie trying to reenact some Dirty Dancing moves with Scott Disick to celebrating Kim and Kanye’s brand new first house together… gingerbread house that is.
Famous pal Maria Menounos also stopped by the Kardashian household to bask in the Christmas joy.
Other celebs proved to the world that it would take a lot more than some controversy and bad publicity to ruin their festive spirits.
Zoe Saldana pushed the Nina Simone casting controversy to the back of her mind as she smiled brightly in front of her Christmas tree along with her new rescue dog.
Even Lindsay Lohan, who could possibly be facing some serious jail time, decided that wasn’t going to keep her down.
Lohan took several pics of her family, one of her favorites being her granny in a NY baseball cap throwing up Jay-Z’s famous “hov” symbol with her hands.
As usually, P. Diddy pulled out all the stops to make the holidays festive and bright.
His plump Christmas tree shimmered and shined in gold ribbons with what seems to be an ocean of presents surrounding it.
Meanwhile, Snooki still couldn’t get herself to stay in the house so the new mommy headed to the ice rink to have some fun. One photo that the Jersey Shore star shared on Instagram showed her about to tumble over as she struggled to stay on her feet.
She still looked fabulous while stumbling around on the ice, however, in a pair of aviator shades and a trendy scarf.
Wiz Khalifa, on the other hand, stayed home with his love Amber Rose as they sported their best Santa hats before snapping pictures together.
When it comes down to it, the holidays is a special time of the year when we realize that our bank accounts have nothing to do with happiness… it’s about being around the people we love.
So whether your tree is a towering behemoth like Pink’s or your average sized and family decorated fake tree like Kevin Hart’s… remember that it’s the people around the tree – not the presents – that truly make the holidays special.
Merry Christmas Everyone.
