The Andre household is abuzz with festive cheer as Peter Andre and his wife Emily are gearing up for an enchanting , rife with the joy of baby Arabella’s presence, who graced the family this April. The couple—who anticipate celebrating a milestone decade together next year—are once again donning their hats as doting .
Arabella, joining her siblings Amelia, 10, Theo, 8, and Peter’s older children Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, is set to experience her very first Christmas. Speaking to Emily Andre expressed her thrill over the festive period and her endearing plans for Arabella’s first yuletide celebration.
“It’ll be a Christmas at home for us, a very chilled one,” revealed the 35 year old NHS doctor. “It’s the first Christmas for the little one and she won’t understand it, but I will so I’m going to enjoy it! I’m going to dress her up as a little Christmas pudding. I’ve got it all planned.”
December couldn’t be more special for Emily and her husband Peter, 51, as last year, the birth of Arabella was their heartfelt Christmas wish.

Amidst the glittering backdrop of Winter Wonderland, Emily admits while she’s filled with holiday spirit, the addition of a new baby has indeed thrown a spanner in her usual Christmas preparations.
“I haven’t started my shopping yet – I need to sort that out,” she says, pointing out that their family’s festive kick-off is postponed until after son Theo’s birthday is well-celebrated.
Emily Andre, a successful author and influencer, has shared her unique family Christmas traditions with fans. She revealed that her favourite festive custom involves cutting up old tights, a quirky tradition passed down from her parents, Rebecca and Ruaraidh.
“It’s my favourite tradition, we do weird stockings, stockings in tights,” she said. “We cut tights in half and fill them. We’ve always done it since I was a child – no idea why, but we love it.” These traditions hold special meaning for her husband Peter, who only started celebrating Christmas after having children.

Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness by his parents Savvas and Thea, Peter didn’t participate in traditional celebrations like Christmas or Easter. He has openly expressed his gratitude towards Emily for bringing the essence of Christmas into their home.
He fondly reflects, “We have lots of traditions – like Elf On The Shelf – but I’ve got to admit, Emily introduced them. I’m still kind of new at this because I grew up in a very religious household and we didn’t celebrate Christmas. So the festive spirit is down to Emily. Oh, and Santa, of course..”
Peter Andre has expressed his festive cheer, revealing that Christmas has taken on a new level of excitement as he experiences it through the eyes of his children. “Now the kids are going through it, I get to live it through them, and it’s beautiful,” he said.
“It may even be more special because it’s their first time but it’s also mine.”
