Bollywood to Hollywood: From the Kardashians to the Kapoors, how the world’s most famous families celebrate Christmas

Christmas is a time of giving, of spending time with family and friends, of just having a jolly holiday. Here’s a look at how some of Bollywood and Hollywood’s most famous families spend the vacay. Actor Priyanka Chopra and husband Nick Jonas, who just celebrated their second anniversary, are all set to create new traditions. They recently posted a photo of themselves near a bauble-draped Christmas tree.

Homely jumpers and customized cheesy costumes make it Christmas for Alia Bhatt and her parents, director Mahesh Bhat and actress Soni Razdan.

The Kapoor clan meet for lunch. The tradition that was started by Jennifer Kendal and Shashi Kapoor apparently always involves lively conversations about movies.

Ananya Panday is in a jolly mood. She recently posted a photo of herself playing with her fur baby – they were playing with X-mas props. "One of us has definitely been naughtier this year... #FavouriteTimeOfTheYear #TisTheSeason," she wrote in the caption with a Santa Claus and a Christmas tree icon.

Amitabh Bachchan and his star family have a Christmas tradition that we love – opening presents together. They put up a tree each year in their Mumbai home and at the stroke of midnight, they open up the loot.

The Ambanis are known for their affluent lifestyle what with lavish weddings and parties with star guests. But at Christmas time, Mukesh and Nita Ambani and their children go the extra mile for those in need; they hand over thousands of presents to kids.

Saif Ali Khan, who hails from the Pataudi family, and his siblings, Soha and Saba, return to their roots at this time of the year, decking their palatial home for a merry time-out.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian West is recycling…her old tree. The sparkly tree was first used at her 2019 Whoville-themed Christmas Eve party. "If you didn't think I would bring back Whoville in the house…" she said while filming an Instagram video of her house all decked out in white. "I love these. They're so whimsical, like Whoville, but all white."

Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid are busy planning the first Christmas of their newborn baby girl. “A whole new kind of busy and tired but she's da bestie so she got Christmas decorations early," Hadid wrote alongside a slideshow of photos.

‘Love Don’t Cost A Thing’ singer Jennifer Lopez sat next to some fairy lights and began to type: "It's the most wonderful time of the year …."

Kylie Jenner and Stormi Webster together make for viral photos. Jenner and her daughter were in matching pjs making cupcakes. "We're back making Grinch cupcakes in celebration of the Grinch X Kylie collection,” she wrote.

Nothing says Christmas like the smell of baking, and Reese Witherspoon’s got the perfect recipe. The actress shared her gingerbread house on Instagram – a tradition she enjoys with her kids. "One of my favourite things about this time of year is decorating gingerbread houses with my kids, well... ok... we mostly just eat the candy. 🍬 🤪 What are some of your favourite family traditions??" she asked.
