Shay Mitchell, Hilary Duff, Chrissy Teigen, and other faves all shared very merry holiday photos
One of the best parts of social media is getting to share special moments with loved ones near and far, especially around the holidays. But another equally awesome aspect of social media is seeing how our favorite celebs celebrate the holidays—because nothing says festive like baby Miles dressed up as a snowman and little Luna in a matching elf outfit with daddy John Legend.
Something about seeing A-list stars dressed up in matching Santa pajamas or hanging by the tree with their loved ones helps keep the holiday spirit alive, which is why we had to round up the best celebrity holiday photos of 2019 for your viewing pleasure. Whether you’re still cozy on the couch with your relatives or are already back at work (we’re with you!), these Instagram pics are sure to brighten up your day in a big way.
Check out some of the sweetest, merriest photos from your fave stars’ holiday celebrations.
Hilary Duff
Just days after celebrating her wedding to Matthew Koma, the Lizzie McGuire star shared a hilariously relatable Insta shot of her brood on Christmas Eve, complete with baby Banks not paying attention, Luca doing his own thing, and Hilary with her eyes closed…in festive Christmas hats, to boot.
This was the best we got. Merry Christmas Eve! ♥️🎄

“This was the best we got,” Duff captioned the pic. Been there, girl. Been there.
Shay Mitchell
The new mama shared a super funny throwback-inspired shot of her family serving up ’80s Christmas realness, and we’re obsessed with baby Atlas sleeping through the entire thing.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS from our fam to yours... ❤️

That gold chain and those shoulder pads, though…
Chrissy Teigen and John Legend
We can’t be the only ones who dream about celebrating the holidays with the Teigen-Legend family. But for now, we’ll settle for the Instagram photos and videos, which show the family enjoying some quality time in Wyoming in Christmas costumes—and a surprise appearance by Santa himself.

We refuse to pick a winner. They all won, in our opinion.
Jennifer Lopez
Sharing the most romantic photo of herself with fiancé Alex Rodriguez, J.Lo joked that the couple “don’t need no mistletoe,” and we are swooning.
A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Dec 25, 2019 at 4:22pm PST
And not to pull attention away from the couple, but that Christmas tree is the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen.
Kylie Jenner
No one does the holidays like the Kardashian-Jenner family. But this year, we’re obsessed with Kylie and Stormi’s matching green dresses at the annual Kardashian Christmas Eve party.
most wonderful time of the year ✨ thank you @ralphandrusso for the custom dresses.

Bella Hadid
Bella’s idea of a “wild and crazy” Christmas involves cozy PJs and the Food Network, and we’re here for that.
A post shared by Bella (@bellahadid) on Dec 25, 2019 at 5:30pm PST
We think we should have asked Santa for those snow boots, because those things rule.
