A-Listers' Christmas, Unwrapped: Brie Larson, Justin Bieber, and the Moments You Missed
Hollywood went unapologetically low-key this Christmas, trading spectacle for heart. A-listers kept it cozy — Justin and Hailey Bieber shared a snug selfie, while Selena Gomez stepped out quietly with Benny — delivering a warm, human snapshot of the holidays.
This Christmas wasn't about flexing budgets or lighting up 50-foot trees. It was cozy, a little messy, and surprisingly relatable. Big names stayed home, played dress-up in pajamas, and let the kids steal the frame. Here's who did what, and why it felt like the rare holiday content that actually breathed.
Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber
Hailey (yes, the Rhode Beauty boss) and Justin (yes, the Grammy magnet) kept it tight and tender with a low-key holiday selfie. No staged set, no snow machine, just two people enjoying the moment together. The caption did the heavy lifting:
"MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE BIEBERS"
Simple and warm — and that was the point.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco
Selena and Benny chose the stealth route: face masks on, strolling through a Christmas lights display on Dec. 23. She posted the photos with a caption that fit the vibe:
"Visiting a wonderland"
It read like a deliberate move toward quiet — romance enjoyed without the parade float.
Kim Kardashian
Kim turned Christmas Eve into a curated family moment: festive pajamas, picture-perfect staging, and a lineup that included three of her kids (North sat this one out), plus her nephew and nieces. It toed the line between cozy tradition and brand-level coordination — because of course it did.
Cardi B
Cardi celebrated her first Christmas as a mom of four with a gloriously chaotic, very real snapshot of family life, and nailed the caption:
"The perfect Christmas picture don't exist in this house."
Noise, motion, joy — the whole deal. No filters, no apologies.
Michelle and Barack Obama
The Obamas dropped a new photo and a clean, optimistic holiday message from the former president that did what it needed to do:
"Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy."
Calm, kind, steady. Classic them.
Brie Larson
Brie kept her holiday extremely human. She shared a trio of Instagram moments: 1) in nightwear by a glowing tree, hands wrapped around a hot drink, 2) a casual board game at a restaurant-style table, and 3) a dense-looking chocolate cake that practically spoke for itself. Slow, simple, unrushed — and oddly aspirational.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria went delightfully unscripted with a home video: David Beckham getting a pedicure while their son Cruz played guitar and sang the Spice Girls track 'Viva Forever.' It was playful and a little goofy — proof that even Team Beckham leans into the silly stuff.
Mariah Carey
Mariah did December the Mariah way: Christmas Eve with her twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, plus a visit from Santa. Festive, joyful, and completely on brand. She doesn't just do the season — she owns it.
Jennifer Lopez
J.Lo shared a Christmas Eve photo carousel that felt personal instead of glossy: family-forward shots featuring her child Emme and her sister Lynda. It was less about a perfect tableau and more about the room itself — the kind of warmth you don't have to sell.
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin
The Baldwins opted for movement and noise: a playful dancing video with their kids that captured the joyful chaos of a big household on the best night of the year.
Big takeaway: this year, the stars leaned into comfort, family, and tiny details that actually matter. Which one felt the most relatable to you — the quiet nights or the festive chaos? Drop your pick and why.
