The holiday season has officially begun, and celebrities are already soaking in the pre-Christmas cheer with their friends and families. While some have jetted off to undisclosed island destinations to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, others are embracing the festive spirit right at home in Mumbai.
From decorating homes with Christmas trees and baking festive treats, including classic plum cakes, to sipping wine and dancing the night away, the countdown to New Year's has well and truly begun.
Dressed in festive red, white and black ensembles, celebrities have already started hosting pre-Christmas bashes.
Shaheen Bhatt hosted an intimate Christmas party at her residence, which was attended by her boyfriend, sister Alia Bhatt, their mother Soni Razdan, and a few close friends. Kareena Kapoor Khan, meanwhile, turned heads in a stunning red outfit as she attended a separate festive gathering.
Malaika Arora also gave fans a glimpse into her celebrations by sharing inside photos and festive décor from her restaurant, Scarlett House, on social media.
