Hollywood does Christmas! Festive fun with the stars

When it comes to Christmas, these celebs go all out!
Mariah Carey

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Cue Mariah Carey’s classic jams, incredible celeb Christmas trees (Kris Jenner, we expect big things) and of course, The Queen’s annual Christmas speech.

Australia’s very own Kylie Minogue is also another festive fiend with the singer releasing several Christmas hits over the years, including last year’s duet with her sister Dannii Minogue, 100 Degrees.

For the British Royal Family, this year’s get-together will be missing Prince William and Duchess Catherine as they will spend the day in Bucklebury with the Middletons.

For the rest of the royals, the day will start bright and early with a family breakfast before attending the private 9am Christmas Day service at St Mary Magdalene Church, which is located close to the monarch’s Sandringham Estate.

The Queen and her loved ones then attend a public 11am service, giving many well-wishers the chance to chat to the royals, who are known to greet them before heading back to their Scottish estate to spend some quality private family time.

She also would have made my dress!” the pop princess penned.
