Kimberley Walsh and Cheryl took their sons on a trip to remember to Lapland - and gave their fans an early Christmas present by sharing some rare pictures of the boys.
Earlier in the Cheryl posted an incredibly rare snap of two-year-old son Bear wandering through Lapland's Christmas forest.
With his trademark corkscrew curls, Bear looked adorable in his brown cords and silver padded jacket as mum Cheryl carried his Spiderman backpack through the snow.
But far from being a mother and son trip, Cheryl was actually on a festive break with best pal Kimberley and her two sons Bobby, four, and Cole, three.
Kimberley's sister Sally Sheppard also joined the party.
Sharing snaps of the boys listening to Father Christmas Kimberley was careful to crop out Bear who Cheryl keeps out of the public eye.
Captioning the festive snap, Kimberley wrote: "Always the most magical time. Just have to add that during Cole’s chat with Santa when Santa said “You like play doh don’t you Cole” Cole replied “What the heck I want a Teddy Bear” to which Santa replied: 'Well that’s a first'"
It comes as Cheryl and ex boyfriend Liam Payne are planning to spend Christmas Day together at her place with their toddler son Bear.
And it seems the Love Made Me Do it singer 36, has extended the invitation to Liam's new girlfriend Maya Henry - but there's a catch.
She's said to have set out some strict rules to make sure the big day goes smoothly and expects Maya, 19, and Liam, 26, to respect them if they're going to spending it with her.
A source told Heat magazine: "She doesn't want Liam and Maya spoiling Bear and outdoing her gifts. Obviously, Liam will want to get his son great presents, but Cheryl doesn't want Maya buying Bear some huge expensive gift just from her.
"She also wants her to muck in with all the Christmas duties and not just sit there and expect to be waited on.
"The other thing Cheryl doesn't want is them being all over each other and making her feel uncomfortable in her own home.
"She's also said they can’t get there too early, because she wants to spend some special time with Bear and her family – which includes her mum Joan, brother Gary, and lots of her nieces and nephews."
Mirror Online has contacted reps for Cheryl, Liam and Maya for comment.
Liam recently confirmed that he will be spending Christmas Day with Cheryl.
Speaking on ITV's This Morning, Liam said he couldn't wait to see if Bear will enjoy unwrapping his presents as last time around he didn't know what they were.
