IF we asked you to name some typical Christmas traditions Family Fortunes style, you\u2019d likely opt for one of the big hitters.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s turkey<\/span> with all the trimmings, or a carol service followed by mulled wine and mince pies, families up and down the UK often have a very similar way of doing things.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, the same can\u2019t be said for everyone around the world, as each country has their own wonderfully wacky spin on traditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Take Norway, for example. Norweigians widely believe that Christmas Eve brings about evil spirits and that the only way to ward off the witches is by hiding all the brooms in the house before they head to bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Venezuela\u2019s capital city Caracas, it\u2019s customary to travel to early morning mass \u2013 aka Misa de Aguinaldo \u2013 on none other than roller skates.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And when it comes to celeb land, many stars like to mix things up and add in their own quirky way to mark the special occasion too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

STACEY SOLOMON\u2019S UNUSUAL CHRISTMAS BREAKFAST\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

In many ways, Stacey Solomon is the epitome of Mrs Christmas herself.<\/p>\n

Not only does she get into the spirit nice<\/span> and early by unveiling her epic decorations, but she\u2019s also known for Christmas crafting, letting her fans in on the secrets behind her creations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But believe it or not, the TV star, who is married to Joe Swash and has five children, likes to go against the grain on Christmas \u2013 especially when it comes to her choice of breakfast.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than tucking into a full English or smoked salmon and eggs, the 34-year-old rustles up a very different morning meal, which even she has admitted is a rather strange choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is going to sound really weird\u2026 my mum every Christmas morning used to cut a grapefruit in half, put some sugar on it and that was our breakfast,\u201d Stacey revealed.<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of my kids will eat it, Joe won\u2019t eat it, it\u2019s not even that great, but I just have to every single Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added on an episode of Loose Women: \u201cI don\u2019t eat grapefruit all year but on Christmas morning, I sit there with my half a grapefruit and sugar and I really enjoy it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

AMANDA HOLDEN\u2019S GLITTER TRICK<\/strong><\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Britain\u2019s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden <\/strong>is used to making contestants\u2019 dreams come true \u2013 and she likes to spread that same magic at Christmas for her daughters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old and her hubby Chris pull out all the stops for their two girls Lexi and Hollie, and have even come up with some unusual traditions to get the ball rolling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While many parents and their kids leave out milk and carrots for Father Christmas, Amanda and her girls were always focused on Santa\u2019s little helpers when they were growing up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amanda explained: \u201cWe have a lot of family traditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe leave glitter on the lawn so the reindeers can see where to land and which house has got magic in it\u201d<\/p>\n

And the radio DJ doesn\u2019t stop there, as when it comes to presents, she makes sure everyone is included\u00a0 \u2013 even the family\u2019s furry friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery single member of the family, including the cat, has a Christmas stocking.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Amanda also likes to keep it real, and admitted she prefers the lead-up to Christmas, rather than the day itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristmas Day can be a bit of a flop so the build-up is the best thing about it,\u201d she previously confessed.<\/p>\n

KATE MIDDLETON\u2019S 'ALONE TIME<\/strong>'<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Many families wake up on Christmas morning and bound down the stairs to open presents \u2013 but the same can\u2019t be said for Kate Middleton and William.<\/p>\n

According to Royal insiders, the women and the men of the family spend breakfast time apart and only unite to go to Church later in the day.<\/p>\n

Former Royal chef Darren McGrady explained: \u201cOn Christmas Day, the ladies generally opt for a light breakfast of sliced fruit, half a grapefruit, toast, and coffee delivered to their rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added to the Daily Mail back in 2017: \u201c<\/em>The male royals, meanwhile, come downstairs to the dining room for a hearty breakfast at 8:30 a.m, with eggs, bacon and mushrooms, kippers, and grilled kidneys, to set them up for the 11:00 a.m. church service at St Mary Magdalene.\u201d<\/p>\n

If King Charles follows the same strict format, this means that Kate will get some alone time, while William mingles with his male relatives.<\/p>\n

Although with three little ones to entertain, we can\u2019t imagine it\u2019ll be relaxing.<\/p>\n

REESE WITHERSPOON\u2019S FESTIVE OSCAR<\/strong><\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

While in our homes you\u2019re more likely to find a nutcracker of gonk, Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon is among the few who can go one step further.<\/p>\n

As well as lavish decorations, Reese, 47, previously confessed that her Oscar statue she\u2019s the proud owner of gets a little bit of festive love.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The mum-of-three revealed that the gold gong, which she took home back in 2006 for her role in Walk the Line, is unrecognisable on the big day.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s all thanks to her children Ava, Deacon and Tennessee.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Christmastime, they put a little hat on him and a little scarf, so he doesn't get cold,\u201d The Morning Show actress previously said in an interview.<\/p>\n

MARIAH CAREY\u2019S OTT ACTIVITY<\/strong><\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be a Christmas traditions list without checking in on the Queen<\/span> of festivities herself \u2013 Mariah Carey.<\/p>\n

And she\u2019s definitely not to be outdone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The hitmaker, best known for the classic singalong All I Want For Christmas, starts her celebrations on the 23rd of December \u2013 and in serious Mariah style.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She previously explained: "Depending on how many of us are up in [Aspen], we get one or two horse-drawn sleighs, and we bundle up and go riding in the snow under the stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Mariah \u2013 who is a proud mum to twin, daughter Monroe and son Moroccan \u2013 doesn\u2019t stop her OTT festivities there.<\/p>\n
