Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, and the Kardashians: How celebrities spent Christmas in 2021

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.

The singer spent the holidays with her family. On Christmas Day, Cyrus, 29, posted a photograph of herself holding one of her dogs alongside her family members at home with a Christmas tree pictured in the background.

Also pictured in the group photo was Cyrus’s mother, Tish, and her siblings Brandi, 34, Trace, 32, Braison, 27, and Noah, 21.

“Maybe you’re alone by choice, I want to say thank you for making a healthy choice for yourself. If you’re with family, cherish them. If you’re having a friendsmas— cherish your chosen family. So much has changed and will continue to, so allow love to be your constant.

“Love for yourself and love for others. Compassion. Patience. I love you very much! Have a happy holiday.”

The British actor and model shared a series of photographs of herself on Christmas Day wearing a fuchsia chainmail mini dress designed and given to her by Versace.

In the images, Hurley poses with a tinsel tiara on her head and alongside a cardboard cutout of Liam Neeson.
