Mzansi’s top celebrities share heartwarming and stylish Christmas photoshoots with their families, revealing surprising details and emotional moments that have fans buzzing.
The holiday season is always a time for celebration, joy, and relaxation, and even the stars of South Africa’s entertainment industry are no exception.
This Christmas, many of Mzansi’s biggest names in music, TV, and social media took time off from their busy schedules to spend quality time with their families.
The festive period also provided an opportunity for them to showcase their holiday spirit in a more personal and glamorous way – through family Christmas photoshoots.
In a world where celebrity culture often feels distant and unattainable, these Christmas photoshoots bring some warmth and relatability as they share their family moments with the public.
While many families were captured in their finest festive attire, some shoots held hidden surprises that had fans talking long after the photos were posted.
From matching outfits to heartfelt captions, South Africa’s favorite stars have shown just how important family and tradition are during the holidays.
One family that caught everyone’s eye this year was that of Rachel Kolisi, co-founder of the Kolisi Foundation and wife of Springbok captain Siya Kolisi. The mother-of-two posted a heartwarming image with her children, standing proudly in front of their Christmas tree.
In the photo, they wore matching Christmas-themed outfits, and Rachel shared a heartfelt message with her followers: “Merry Christmas from mine to yours ❤️🌲.”
While the picture radiated happiness, there was a noticeable absence in the family photo – her husband, Siya Kolisi.
The couple had separated earlier in October, but despite the change in their relationship, both Rachel and Siya have remained committed to co-parenting and raising their children together.
Fans were quick to notice the absence of Siya in the photoshoot, sparking a flurry of comments, questions, and speculations about the current state of their relationship.
Meanwhile, rapper and TV presenter Nomuzi “Moozlie” Mabena also took to social media to share her Christmas joy. In her photoshoot, she posed with her sister’s family, dressed all in black, creating a striking image.
Her caption, however, held a deeper, more personal message: “From my grateful heart to you & yours… Merry Christmas🎄🫶🏾✨ And Happy Birthday Jesus!🤭🎂 Thank you for being the best big brother EVER! I’m in such awe of just how mighty & humble you are.
Such a KING!!🙌👑” It wasn’t just a standard Christmas message; Moozlie used the opportunity to express her admiration for her brother, calling him a “king” and thanking him for his presence in her life.
This intimate gesture resonated with many of her followers, and it added a special, emotional layer to what seemed like a simple family photoshoot.
Reality TV star Faith Nketsi, known for her larger-than-life persona, also shared her family’s festive cheer in a touching mother-daughter photoshoot.
Faith and her daughter Sky were dressed in matching nude-colored outfits, looking every bit the picture of elegance and love.
Her caption was simple yet heartfelt: “We wish you and your loved ones a very merry Christmas ❤️🎄.”
Their photo received an outpouring of love from her fans, many of whom praised Faith for her ability to balance being a public figure and a devoted mother.
The festive picture further endeared her to fans who were delighted to see the star embracing her family life with such genuine affection.
The mastermind behind Afrotainment, DJ Tira, also jumped on the Christmas photoshoot bandwagon, this time including his entire family in the festivities.
Tira, his wife, and their three children – Tank, Chase, and Chichi – posed together in matching Christmas-themed pyjamas, creating a fun, cozy, and heartwarming image.
Fans were quick to comment on how the picture perfectly captured the warmth and togetherness that the festive season brings.
Tira’s family photoshoot became one of the most talked-about moments of the season, further solidifying the DJ’s position as one of the country’s most beloved entertainers.
