MANILA, Philippines — It’s finally Christmas, a time when celebrities can briefly step out of the limelight to celebrate with their families and friends.
Due to restrictions imposed in the country brought by COVID-19, many celebrities opted for a simple Noche Buena feast at home, or simply just spend time with their loved ones.
Here’s a look at what they were up to this Christmas 2020:
Actress Angel Locsin, who landed the Forbes Asia’s Heroes of Philanthropy list and Asia’s Top 100 Digital List this year, posted a photo with her family.

“From my family to yours, Merry Christmas! 🎄 ✨ Regardless of how this year turned out, the important thing is that I have my family and loved ones with me on this very special holiday. Family is the greatest gift of them all and there’s nothing I’m more thankful for than to have them by my side. Wishing you all a blessed Christmas,” Evangelista, who was chosen to be part of this year’s Vogue 100 and one of Forbes France‘s Top 10 Luxury Influencers, wrote in her Instagram post.
