Cheryl shared a rare glimpse into mum life with her son as she enjoyed the ultimate festive trip with Bear and her Girls Aloud bandmate. The singer headed off to Lapland UK with her five-year-old son, who she shared with ex Liam Payne, and Kimberley Walsh and her young children.
The festive destination, based at Whitmoor Forest in Ascot, has been popular among celebrities this year with Rochelle Humes, Peter Andre, and more among those opting to stay local as opposed to heading to the original Finland destination.
And while Cheryl rarely posts about Bear, he could be seen in her video of memories from the special day dressed in an adorable snowman beanie hat as his mum wrapped up warm in a cosy puffer coat.
The former X Factor judge could be seen holding onto Bear's hand as they had their backs to the camera, as Cheryl guards her son's privacy and only shares photos and videos which don't show his face. And the mum-of-one was clearly feeling the Christmas spirit as she donned a red coat and fluffy hat with reindeer antlers.
Cheryl, who is set to make her West End debut next year, took to Instagram to post the compilation video of her trip, writing to her millions of followers: "Thank you for the Christmas magic @laplanduk Wishing you all the warmest wishes for Christmas."
And her loyal fans were quick to comment and gush over the adorable memories the mother and son made alongside Kimberley and her family while others were stunned by the change they'd seen in Bear. @cheryldaily said: "MAGICAL. Have the best Christmas Cheryl and Bear." @margos54 commented: "Merry Christmas Cheryl and Bear Cannot believe how tall Bear is."

@kayls97xo echoed: "Omg I can't believe how tall bear is getting. Hope you both have a magical Christmas." @_aliciaaarenee_s replied: "This is stunning. Wishing you a happy Christmas!" @ameliacmharris added "Oh this looks beautiful. Merry Christmas to you and your family."
But fans were distracted by Cheryl's attire. @myka_draws said: "The HAT though." @emmchezfan commented: "I’m here for your reindeer hat." @_levssss replied: "Ooo that hat is everything!! Sending wishes and love to you and bear." @missjollz added: "Where is the hat from. It's so cute!"
Kimberly, meanwhile, shared a snap of herself and Cheryl cuddling up in their festive attire under an array of fairy lights before the 41-year-old also posted shots on her own social media that featured Bear, five, alongside her own kids, Cole, four, Bobby, six, and baby son Nate.

"Even Nate looks a tad apprehensive to find out if he made the good list (swipe right)," she started the caption of her string of sweet images. "Always one of my favourite days in the lead up to Christmas and the boys were particularly excited to meet the big man this year.
"Nate finally got to use the “Ho Ho Ho” he’s been practicing for weeks and really enjoyed throwing the bell Father Christmas gave him across the room. Thank you @mrandmrslapland @laplanduk for always making it extra special. You really have created something so magical."
