The Beckhams lead stars shunning the sun to brave a New Year’s in chilly UK after previously living it up Miami – as the family continues to celebrate the festive season in the Cotswolds without Brooklyn

It seems like more celebrities are spending their New Year’s holidays in the UK this year, opting to stay despite the cold weather instead of traveling to warmer destinations.

Leading the trend are the Beckhams, who have opted to stay closer to home as 2026 approaches.

Instead of spending New Year’s Eve on vacation abroad, the well-known family celebrated at their luxurious country home in the Cotswolds, which is worth £12 million.

This is a big change from last year, when David and Victoria enjoyed a lavish vacation in Miami.

The couple famously spend the Christmas holidays escaping the cold weather at their luxurious £60 million Florida mansion.

This year, the Beckhams are celebrating a more relaxed and low-key New Year’s, enjoying a cosy time at home in the cold weather of the UK.

Victoria shared a photo of her £1,290 dress from her fashion line on Instagram on New Year’s Eve, but David unexpectedly interrupted her.

I remember she was telling me about an outfit she wore recently – a beautiful teal dress. But then she suddenly asked me if I was planning on changing clothes tonight, which was a bit of a surprise!

Victoria then turned the camera to her husband, who was dressed much more casually in a T-shirt and corduroys. He said he was ready, prompting Victoria to ask if she had overdone it with her outfit.

David said: ‘You might be a little bit overdressed darling tonight.’

The Spice Girl gently explained, ‘I’m the sophisticated one, you know,’ and he playfully replied, ‘What’s with the quiet voice?’

She shared a photo with the caption: ‘You can never be too glamorous! I’m loving the shape of this outfit from my #VBPSS26 collection. Happy New Year, everyone! Kisses.’

On Tuesday evening, their son, Romeo, shared on his Instagram Stories that he was experiencing a classic British pastime: attending a darts match.

He shared a snap of the stage as he sat at a VIP table for the event.

The Beckhams have spent Christmas in the Cotswolds, but Brooklyn was noticeably absent.

Trying to mend their strained relationship, former soccer star David Beckham featured his son Brooklyn in his New Year’s Eve family photos.

Oh my gosh, Sir David just posted the sweetest things on Instagram! He’s clearly trying to show everyone a softer side, you know? He shared a bunch of family pictures, and I almost died when I saw one of young Brooklyn! It’s like, a glimpse into his personal life, and I’m completely obsessed with seeing it. He’s just so thoughtful to share these moments with us!

Captioning the shot, he wrote: ‘I love you all so much.’ 

The photoshoot also included David Beckham with his sons Romeo and Cruz, and his daughter Harper. The final picture showed his wife Victoria and all four of their children, accompanied by the message: ‘You are my life’.

Brooklyn, 26, has blocked his mother and other family members on social media as their ongoing disagreement worsens.

Brooklyn spent Christmas this year with wife Nicola Peltz’s billionaire parents in Miami, Florida.

She seemed to subtly criticize the Beckhams by posting heartwarming photos of Brooklyn enjoying time with his wife’s parents, Nelson and Claudia Heffner Peltz, and their family.

Brooklyn seemed to be thoroughly enjoying his Christmas in the US, posing with his wife in coordinating holiday pajamas.

Nicola wished her followers a merry Christmas and a happy new year, sending them lots of love, peace, and happiness. ❤️⭐️

Dua Lipa and her fiancé, Callum Turner, spent a quiet New Year’s Day taking their dog for a walk in London, choosing to stay in the UK rather than travel to a warmer, sunnier location.

After a recent beach vacation in Mexico, the couple seemed to be still getting used to the cold weather, as they bundled up warmly for a day out in the city.

Dua Lipa showed off her £25,000 engagement ring while wearing a completely black outfit, accented by a Gucci scarf and a large, bright red faux fur hat.

The singer, known for her song ‘Physical’, was seen enjoying a coffee while walking in the park with her fiancé. He was wearing a black puffer jacket.

Most celebrities usually travel overseas for New Year’s celebrations, but Dua and Callum have chosen to spend the holiday back in the UK after a hectic year.

In December, Dua finished her Radical Optimism tour with a final show in Mexico, and Callum went to New York for the debut of his new movie, Atropia.

Amanda Holden turned heads on New Year’s Eve in a striking blue dress by Victoria Beckham. She celebrated with her husband, Chris Hughes, their daughters Lexi and Hollie, and Alan Carr.

Stacey Solomon went all out decorating her home, Pickle Cottage, for a New Year’s Eve party with her family.
