From photos with Santa to matching Christmas pajamas, here's a look at how your favorite celebrities are spending the holiday.

John Travolta celebrated the holiday by going on ski trip with his kids. The "Grease" actor shared a photo of himself with his two kids, Ella Bleu, 23 and Benjamin, 13, smiling together while standing on a ski slope.

"Merry Christmas to everyone, we love you!!" Travolta wrote in the caption of the Instagram post on Monday.

"Dancing with the Stars" pros Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson took their son, Rome, to Park City, Utah, for his first Christmas -- but the 11-month-old didn't look too happy for his first meeting with Santa.

"Maybe next year," Johnson wrote on Instagram.
