It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Just looking at how our fave celebrities celebrated Christmas is proof the spirit of the season is alive and well. Celebrities are taking to social media en masse this week to reveal the festive moments they’ve enjoyed with family so far during the holidays. And there’s just something inherently heartwarming about the shared human experience of holiday fun, isn’t there?
So, crank up some holiday tunes (they’re still totally cool until the new year) and check out how some of Hollywood’s stars spent Christmas.
