Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are gearing up to celebrate their first Christmas together following their engagement, which was announced in August. According to sources, the couple aims to make this holiday memorable by celebrating with their families and indulging in lavish festivities.
The couple is reportedly planning to spend Christmas Eve together, as Kelce’s team, the Kansas City Chiefs, will face off against the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day. This scheduling has prompted Swift to take the lead in planning an extravagant celebration. An insider revealed, “Taylor takes Christmas seriously, so she’s already pre-warned everyone that it’ll be as extravagant as ever.”
Swift’s reputation for opulent gift-giving is expected to shine as she reportedly plans to give Kelce a remarkable gift: a private island near the Bahamas. A source shared with Closer that Swift “won’t scrimp” this year, emphasizing her commitment to making the occasion special. The couple has long desired a place that offers complete privacy, and Swift has been searching for options over the past few months.
In addition to the island, the couple is set to rent a luxurious villa on Musha Cay for New Year’s, costing approximately $60,000 per night. This getaway will likely provide them the perfect opportunity to visit the newly acquired island.
As for the Christmas decorations, sources indicate Swift is investing more than $100,000 on holiday adornments. This includes a stunning 40-foot gold tree decorated with thousands of real crystals, life-sized reindeer, and an elaborate replica of the Nutcracker scene set against a backdrop of artificial snow.
Earlier this month, Swift was busy promoting her six-part series, “The End of an Era,” which highlights her recent Eras Tour. She made a notable appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on December 10, discussing the series and her latest projects.
Swift and Kelce announced their engagement on August 26, 2025, through a joint Instagram post. In a playful caption, she remarked, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” This announcement came shortly after Swift revealed her twelfth studio album on the “New Heights” podcast, generating significant buzz among fans and media alike.
As the holiday season approaches, the couple’s plans reflect their shared joy and commitment to creating lasting memories together. With a blend of family, privacy, and extravagant celebrations, Swift and Kelce’s first Christmas is poised to be a truly unforgettable occasion.
