It's that time of year again - stockings are being hung on the mantle with care, the elves are on the shelves and lounge rooms everywhere are decorated with all manner of festive finery.
In the run up to Christmas, just like the rest of us, Aussie celebrities were busy decorating their abodes and sharing the results with fans on social media.
From eye-popping displays of Yuletide extravagance to more austere creations, the stars certainly ran the gamut of Christmas style this year.
Here are some of the most lavish, outrageous and downright unusual celebrity Christmas decorations you're likely to see in 2024.

Jackie's fir comes from the brand Dancer & Dasher, where prices for their opulent 'bespoke' creations start at a whopping $4000
Jackie took to Instagram last month to share images of her very opulent Christmas tree.
Jackie's fir comes from the brand Dancer & Dasher, where prices for their 'bespoke' creations start at a whopping $4000.
Those prices are for a 180cm tree decoration package with installation included - but if you want one, you'll have to join a waitlist.
Jackie's tree was decorated with sparkling red baubles and giant bows, as well as sprigs of holly and berries.
She posed alongside the luxury decoration with her daughter Kitty, the pair in matching seasonal pyjamas.
'Christmas ready!!!! Always so in awe of your beautiful trees @danceranddasher,' Jackie wrote in her caption on Instagram.
'It’s nice to have money haha,' joked one fan in the captions while another said, 'The best Christmas tree!!'

Another fan of Dancer & Dasher's eye-popping and wallet-draining Christmas creations is cricket WAG Candice Warner.
Candice's full-sized, pastel candy-inspired tree was accompanied by a pink tree skirt and featured a mix of vibrant colours.
It also boasted a large pink and white candy cane and a gingerbread cake.
It is the perfect festive accoutrement to Candace's palatial seaside mansion in Maroubra, which she shares with husband David Warner and their three children - Ivy, Indi, and Isla.
The ocean-view property boasts an incredible seven floors, and features a 'bat cave' to house David's sporting memorabilia and huge bat collection, a private beach and epic clifftop views.
'[David and Candice] stay at the finest hotels in the world and were keen to evoke that same sense of luxury and sophistication here,' Interior designer Alexandra Kidd told The Australian.
'But at the same time, it's also a beach house, and we wanted them to feel comfortable enough to walk in from the beach, toss off their shoes and really relax.'
The master bedroom suite is luxurious, with Japanese-designed wallpaper and plush silk carpet.

The former football WAG shocked fans in November when she unveiled her very unorthodox plastic pink trees on social media.
The large 2.1 metre pink cut-out retails for $1550 while the 1.5 metre clear acrylic tree retails for $1250 and her 80cm tree costs $300.
'Christmas has arrived at home and I am obsessed,' Bec wrote.
'We are actually away for Christmas this year so these trees are the perfect way to make our house feel festive without needing a tree to put gifts under.'
'The last time I did a Christmas tree that didn't look like a traditional Christmas tree it became one of the most viewed 'news' stories of the year. This year will be interesting.'
Bec's divided fans flocked to the comments to offer their opinion of her Christmas tree.
'Not keen you do not have pink Christmas tree,' one unimpressed fan said.
'Love them of course I would though, they're laser cut acrylic,' another fan wrote.
'Love the trees. Love the fact that you can let the negativity flow off you. People are mean, you’re awesome!' a third said.

Christie Swadling
When it comes to festive decorating, the influencer has taken a different 'lazy' approach to her family's Christmas tree.
Taking to Instagram this month, Christie shared a video that showed her decorating a very spartan looking tree.
Devoid of any greenery, the tree sat in the corner of Christie's lounge room and was also without any decorations, save for the pre-installed LED lights on the bare branches.
Christie revealed that her 'lazy tree' had been a tradition for the past two years.
'We've been able to get away with a stick tree for two years since my step-son is now a teenager,' she wrote over the clip.
'But this will be out official last year with the "lazy tree".'
Christie, who announced in October that she and fiancé Joel Price were expecting, revealed she wanted to pull out all the stops when their bundle of joy arrives.
'Tbh the year he didn’t want to put up the tree with us I cried a lil inside but also knew we could get away with a “easier to set up tree” for a hot min… which will now end when little Bub arrives and the believing starts again,' Christie wrote.
