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.
