While we don’t have any control over it, we all know that there are some dates we would rather not have birthdays on. Valentine’s Day, New Year’s Eve, Halloween, and Christmas, among many others, are dates when people are so preoccupied with other things that celebrating your birthday might be at the bottom of their list.
After all, if you have a birthday during Christmas, it’s not like your family’s celebrations will change just to focus on you. Plus, who’d want to see everyone else also getting gifts on your birthday? No, thank you!
But, while all of that may be true, many celebrities we know and love have birthdays on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. So, in honor of the holiday season ahead, we’ve compiled them all in a list. From Ryan Seacrest and Taylor Zakhar Perez to Helena Christensen and Annie Lennox, check out all the Christmas birthdays below!
