In years past, celebrities would go all out leading up to the holidays. They would do holiday cards in elaborate, matching ensembles and release them well before Christmas. But this year, many stars went a different route. Some released their holiday photos right before the holiday or on it. Others just took photos after opening their gifts, decked in PJs and Santa hats. However your favorites chose to ring in the holiday with their loved ones, we're still cheesing over how cute all the celebratory images turned out.
The Ross Family
Diana Ross the boss, some of her kids (including Tracee, Chudney, Ross and Evan), her many grandbabies and other beloved relatives came together, coordinated perfectly, to celebrate the Christmas holiday.
Cardi B
Looking like ornaments that deserved to be on one of their three trees, Cardi B posed with daughters Kalea (Offset's daughter from a previous relationship) and Kulture in their gorgeous Christmas gowns.
Kimora Lee Simmons
It was a packed house for the very blessed businesswoman and former TV personality as she celebrated the holiday with all of her kids: Ming, Aoki, Kenzo, Gary and Wolfe.
Ciara and Russell Wilson
CiCi and Russ got their family all decked out in matching leopard print pajamas and invited Santa and Mrs. Claus over for a quick photo shoot.

The singer/songwriter and her beau, John Gaines, looked stunning (you hear me!) alongside daughter Hazel for their holiday family photos -- baby girl's first.
The Harveys
Marjorie, Steve and their brood pulled out the silk pajamas and Santa hats for some cute Christmas day photos.
Nicki Minaj
The MC, her husband and their adorable son, whom she calls 'Papa Bear,' did traditional family photos for Christmas, dressed in black.
Keyshia Ka'oir and Gucci Mane
The couple and their 1-year-old son Ice posed in front of a towering Christmas tree as iced out as the jewelry they usually wear.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
It's the hair for us! The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and their children, Archie and Lili, had one of the more simple star holiday cards, but it certainly was a standout of the season.
Kelly Rowland and Tim Weatherspoon
The Weatherspoons got all gussied up for their holiday card, wearing tuxedos, a ball gown -- and crispy white sneakers for Titan and Noah.
Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker
Kandi and her lovely family did both a fancy photo shoot in black tie looks (and Vans sneakers), and one in matching holiday PJs. We're especially fond of the laid back PJ looks!
Mariah Carey
If you flip to the second page, you'll find Carey with Roc and Roe, as well as Santa Claus, all together for a sweet family photo in matching silky PJs.
Tia Mowry and Cory Hardrict
How cute are Tia, Cory and their family in these coordinated Christmas jammies?

Mike Epps
The comedian and wife Kyra celebrated the holidays with their family, including their newest member, Mike Epps, Jr.
Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia
For all the efforts some stars made, sometimes wearing simple matching pajamas with the ones you love (and a bonnet for good hair protecting measure) is good enough!
