Christmas has come and gone, but the holiday spirit doesn't have to die. Social media means we got to celebrate the holiday weekend not only with our family and friends, but also with our favorite celebrities … just, you know, virtually.
If Instagram is to be believed, famous folks had a lit Christmas! Here are a few of our faves:
Will Smith
How can you not love Will Smith basically crowning himself the King of Ugly Christmas Sweaters:
First of all, this is a huge deal because Smith just recently activated his Instagram account. His funny presence on the 'gram was like another gift!
Kanye West
Kanye West spending his Christmas with his in-laws listening to Babyface:
Even the most hated of in-laws become tolerable when you've got a god of R&B serenading you, right?
Barack and Michelle
The Obamas looking beautiful with a bunch of silly elves:
On behalf of the Obama family, Merry Christmas! We wish you joy and peace this holiday season. pic.twitter.com/CNFUZrhrBj

As much as people miss them, the Obamas are definitely living their best life — and we are here for it!
Ciara
Ciara spent the holiday doing what she does best … dancing her butt off!
Get it, girl!!!
Tracee Ellis Ross
Tracee Ellis Ross showed us her holiday accessories in a way that only she can:
Ross has such an infectious energy! She's the cool auntie we'd follow around on Christmas, for sure!
Yara Shahidi
The Grownish star nixed spending time in a winter wonderland, and instead choose fun in the sun:
Christmas at the beach?! Yeah, she wins.
Simone Biles
The Olympian invited us into the family:
We can only imagine that Biles doesn't often get to see her entire family given her hectic training schedule, so this pic is full of an extra special dose of warmth, which we love!
Chance the Rapper
Chance once again blessed us by bringing a little Chicago House to the holidays:

GET IT WHILE U CAN— Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) December 19, 2017
Fellow Chicagoan Jeremih joined Lil' Chano to wish the world a Merry Christmas! Get your juke on!
Beyoncé
Surprising no one, Beyoncé shared the best gif ever:
We all know that Bey absolutely owns the concept of an Instagram slay. She doesn't even have to post a caption … she's just that good. Her string of holiday gifs were definitely fun.
Solange
And it's also not surprising that Solange turned her celebration of Christmas into mesmerizing art:

Solange's visual presentations are always just as important as her musical ones, and she further proved that by posting shots from her performance piece, Scales at Chinati Foundation. Why is she everything?!
SZA
SZA pulled on the heartstrings by paying homage to her grandma:
Fresh off dropping the video for her single, "The Weekend," SZA took to Instagram to post a heartwarming dedication to her grandmother for the matriarch's birthday.
We hope your Christmas was just as lit!
