While not everyone celebrates the same holidays, it’s hard to deny that December is all about Christmas. Because the world is so heavily focused on that one holiday, it makes it hard for people who were born on December 24 and December 25, being completely overshadowed by other celebrations.
Of course, us regular folks aren’t the only ones who have to deal with the consequenses of being Christmas babies--celebrities do too! Ricky Martin, Annie Lennox, and more celebs were all born during the holiday season.

One tradition the radio host has for his birthday and Christmas Eve is eating fondue.
“Sausage balls are Christmas morning,” Seacrest previously teased on-air of his holiday traditions. “We do Christmas afternoon. You know I like to start the meal at 3:30 pm. … We will do the fondue on Christmas Eve and then we will wake up and make sausage rolled up with Bisquick and cheese and put them on a cookie sheet in the oven — they’re so good.”

“The Christmas holiday is a special holiday for us because Christmas Eve is my birthday. And Christmas Day is Christmas Day. And they are not going to come home … that’s painful,” he told The Washington Post. “But that’s just one of the things you’re going to have to accept as we go through this unprecedented challenging time.”

Scottish singer-songwriter, political activist, and philanthropist Annie Lennox was born on December 25, 1954.
“I was born on Christmas Day, so my birthday and Christmas are blended together. As a child I used to wait all year for my birthday, so I’d have birthday presents and Christmas presents at the same time,” she told The Daily Record in 2020.
“That’s all I’ve ever known, so funny when you think about it,” she continued. “People said to me, ‘What a shame because you don’t get to have two separate celebrations.’ But it’s all I know, just Christmas and birthday all wrapped up together.”
