Christmas Day has come and gone but the memories will live forever... on social media.

It might have been a festive season unlike any other thanks to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the surging number of omicron cases across the UK, but many famous families still managed to have a somewhat normal Christmas. That is, if we can rely on their Instagram posts as evidence.

In the UK, the Beckham family dressed for the occasion, with the family sharing a group photograph in which they were clad in black tie garb. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Hurley also dressed up, wearing a pink chainmail mini dress gifted to her by Versace.

Stateside, stars like Miley Cyrus, Lizzo and the Kardashians documented their merriment through a mix of candid family snaps and professional photoshoots.

Here’s how celebrities spent Christmas in 2021.
