When people think about what their favorite artists are doing for the holidays, they often picture lavish vacations in faraway places. Sometimes, that’s accurate. However, it’s not true for all stars. For instance, Lainey Wilson spent a wholesome Christmas at home with her family and pets and couldn’t have been happier about it. She shared her joy—and some photos—on social media yesterday (December 25).

Wilson’s social media post included three photos of the CMA Entertainer of the Year alongside a short but heartfelt caption. “If this is what you call filling your cup, then mine is to the brim,” she wrote in the post. “Merry Christmas, y’all,” she added.

The photos in Wilson’s post show how down-to-earth she is when it comes to celebrating the holidays. The first shows the smiling star cheek-to-cheek with a horse. In the next photo, she’s standing with three elder family members. The final photo shows her sitting beside the Christmas tree with a bulldog. The highlight of the entire post is the fact that she and the pooch are wearing matching festive socks.

Lainey Wilson Had a Huge Year
After more than a decade in Nashville working toward her dream of country stardom, Wilson’s career exploded in 2023. The height of her fame became evident to the world in November during the CMA Awards. She was the most-nominated artist of the night with nine total nominations. She walked away with five trophies.
Her collaboration with HARDY, “wait in the truck,” brought her two wins—Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year. Bell Bottom Country brought her Album of the Year. Wilson also won Female Vocalist of the Year. Additionally, she won the most coveted trophy at the show, Entertainer of the Year.
