Now, Katie, 45, has opened up on what her tribe usually do to celebrate the festive day.
The former I'm A Celebrity campmate took to her podcast, The Katie Price show with her sister Sophie Price.
On the audio show, the pair answered festive questions sent in by their droves of loyal listeners, and one asked them what their Christmas traditions were.
This was when the former Celebrity Big Brother winner revealed that she likes to gather all the kids round in a circle for a specific present opening ceremony.

She first retold the story about how when she was younger she used to get her parents out of bed as quick as possible.
Katie then admitted: " Now the roles are reversed. The kids are trying to get me out of bed.
"But I won't let them open any presents, normally the night before I put all their piles around in a circle.
"So then we have a tea [In the morning]. Then I'm like 'we open one each, going round in a circle so we can see what we've all got."

"Tradition to me is in the morning you put the telly on. The Snowman and all of that.
"Open the presents in a circle, where they're all excited, wanna just rip everything off.
She added: "That's the morning and a bit of cooked breakfast."
She also revealed that by the time she serves the big Christmas dinner, nobody eats her dinner.
This is because by the time it's ready, the kids have already filled up on sweets.
Katie revealed: "To be honest, by the time I've cooked dinner the kids aren't hungry anyway, because they're so busy eating sweets and whatever else I've bought."
It seems that she's equally tight over the advent calendars during the winter months.
She admitted: "I have been doing the Sunday Times Style advent calendar, people pay £700 for this advent calendar.
"I would never pay £700 for an advent calendar, but I am selling it for £120 which is a massive difference and I get to see what is in each one.
"But I must admit there is really good products inside the drawers. The way I look at it – if there is £700 of gifts in for £120, but still an advent calendar for £120 instead of £3."
She added: "My five kids they’re lucky if they get one from Tesco."
