Amidst the progress of Covid-19’s newest variant, Omicron, Christmas celebrations this year arrived brought a much-needed dose of joy, only in the company of vaccines, booster shots, and a little more confidence on dealing with the situation. Just like most of us, celebrities around the world celebrated the special day with pared down get-togethers instead of lavish parties, focusing on the little things that make Christmas so special. While some stars took to Instagram to share their impressive tree decorating skills, others took a trip down the countryside, and more still shared warm family portraits, with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s sweet family snapshot (which also gave us the very first glimpse at their daughter Lilibet) taking centre stage. In case you missed it, here’s a rundown on how celebrities got into the holiday spirit this year.
Karen Wazen
Red may just be the universal favorite color for Christmas, and Karen Wazen knows it. This year, the fashion entrepreneur celebrated the season in an asymmetrical red jumpsuit, and made sure to get some picture-perfect snapshots with her twin daughters.
