From Our Family To Yours: 2023 Christmas Greetings From Celebrity Families

Merry Christmas, Smart Parenting fam!

Whether you had a fun or a not-so-merry Christmas celebration with your family this year, what's important is the privilege to mark this season of joy and sharing with the people who are dearest to us. 

Even before the clock struck 12 on December 24's Christmas eve, it was a sight to see beautiful photos of families coming together, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

Here's a round-up of the Christmas photo greetings we love, from Filipino celebrity families.

Celebrity families Christmas photo greetings 2023

1. Jessy Mendiola, Luis Manzano, and Baby Isabella Rose

It's Jessy Mendiola and Lucky Manzano's second Christmas with their dear daughter Isabella Rose, and so they took the chance to have a Christmas family photoshoot taken by Cocoon Studios.

2. Aubrey Miles and Troy Montero family

The celebrity fitness and marriage goals couple shared priceless snaps of their family of five. Their followers were amazed to see their youngest daughter Rocket smiling at the camera! Last Christmas, the family celebrated their youngest daughter's first sentence at four years old. Read here.



3. Jodi Sta. Maria, Pampi Lacson, and Iwa Moto family

"We are blended, not broken," this was the powerful message of actress and mom Jodi Sta. Maria in her Christmas photo post, where she and her son Thirdy spent the holidays together with her former husband Pampi Lacson's new family.

 

4. Team Kramer

One of Smart Parenting's 20 inspiring Filipino families, Chesca Garcia and Doug Kramer family's Christmas greeting emphasized on the true reason for the season. "It was never just about the gifts around the Christmas tree. Let us not forget to celebrate the greatest gift we all don't deserve, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ," read Doug's caption.



5. Oyo Sotto and Kristine Hermosa family

Posing alongside Oyo Sotto and Kristine Hermosa in their Christmas family photo are not only their five children, but their eight pets too! In the post by Kristine, she used the hashtag that best describes their bunch, "happy riot." 



6. Camille Prats and VJ Yambao family

Another Christmas photo greeting that put the focus on the real meaning of Christmas is Camille Prats and VJ Yambao's, a blended family we love. The "fitness goals" couple is spending Christmas with Ice, Nathan, Nolan, and Nala (who are all growing up too fast!)



7. Patrick Garcia and Nikka Garcia family

Wearing all-black outfits for their Christmas photos taken by Nice Print Photo are Patrick Garcia and Nikka Garcia's family of six.



8. Sheena Halili and Jeron Manzanero family

Smart Parenting's Mom We Love for December 2023 Sheena Halili shared an Instagram reel of their family's photos. Martina is such a darling! Sheena told Smart Parenting that 2o24 is going to be her comeback year to showbiz, and we couldn't wait.



9.  Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes family

Marian Rivera shared the Christmas photo of the Dantes Squad taken at the Casa Dantes. The GMA Kapuso royalty wished everyone a Christ-centered celebration, "As we unwrap joy and savor every moment, let’s not forget the true gift of Christmas: the birth of Jesus, our one and only King and Savior."



10. Bianca Gonzalez and JC Intal family

If there's a sad but true Christmas message to wrap 2023 aptly, it's JC Intal's, who wrote in his caption, "Merry Christmas everyone," followed by "Get well soon, mommy." Bianca Gonzalez was wearing a face mask in their Christmas family photo this year, and we could only wish for good health and less sickness in the fam this 2024.



11. Chito Miranda and Neri Naig family

"Maligayang Pasko sa inyong lahat!!! Eto na yun... kumpleto at kuntento, tahimik at matiwasay," was Parokya ni Edgar frontman Chito Miranda's short but sweet caption for their Christmas family photo this year.

12. Manny and Jinkee Pacquiao family

With their elegant golden Christmas tree as their backdrop, the family of the People's Champ, Manny Pacquiao and Jinkee Pacquiao wished everyone happy holidays. Their son Emmanuel wasn't able to celebrate with them this year.



13. Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna family

Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna are expecting their second child in 2024. Pauleen's growing bump (with Baby Mochi inside) is the highlight of their Christmas family photo this year.



14. The Wintles

Sisters-in-law Iza Calzado and Bianca King reunite to spend their first Christmas together as new parents. We couldn't get enough of their photos and videos capturing the reunion of Wintle cousins Deia Amihan and Sadie Harlow!

15. Carmina Villaroel and Zoren Legaspi family

"Family, love and peace - what more can I ask for?" wrote Carmina Villaroel in their Christmas family photos with her husband Zoren Legaspi and twin children Mavy and Cassy.



16. LJ Reyes and Philip Evangelista family

Newly married couple LJ Reyes and Philip Evangelista shared photos of their blended family, and said, they couldn't ask for anything more in this lifetime. Happy for you, guys!



17. Isabelle Daza and Adrien Semblat family

And the winner for the "Best and Most Relatable Family Caption" award goes to Isabelle Daza and Adrien Semblat's family of five, where she wrote, "Everyone get it together!!!!!" Isabelle's daughter Esmeralda arrived just this year, and to say that being a mom of three is challenging is an understatement. LOL!

Happy Holidays, everyone!
