Tori Spelling and her four older children work together to maintain the Christmas magic for her youngest son!
On Wednesday, Dec. 25, the actress, 51, shared scenes from her holiday celebrations with all five of her kids — Liam Aaron, 17, Stella Doreen, 16, Hattie Margaret, 13, Finn Davey, 12, and Beau Dean, 7 — whom she shares with estranged husband Dean McDermott.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum posted photos of her children celebrating Christmas, including sweet snapshots of her youngest child, Beau. On Christmas Eve, Spelling added an Instagram Reel of her, Beau, Finn and Stella walking around Holiday Road — which she wrote is the family’s “fav holiday tradition.” She also added the video to her Instagram Stories that night.

On Christmas Day, she added a collage of Beau scoping out the gifts in his stocking and below the Christmas tree. “Caught in the act at 7am….,” she wrote atop photos of Beau in his matching Christmas pajamas.
The actress concluded her Instagram Stories with a photo of the family’s Christmas tree with all the opened gifts, and wished followers a “Merry Christmas to all.”

Spelling revealed on a Dec. 23 episode of her MisSpelling podcast she shares elf display duty with her older four kids, Liam, Stella, Hattie and Finn.
She noted that her elves can be “naughty” and “rebellious,” confessing that her daughters tend to dress the shelf in cute and “artsy” styles. Meanwhile, Spelling says her boys add some edge, adding, “They’re like, ‘Sex, love and rock and roll, minus the love.'”

During the same episode, she revealed that Stella didn’t get a Christmas present last year since she was with her mom shopping for all her other siblings’ presents at the time.
“Dean used to help me wrap all the gifts, but obviously, now I’m a single mom, separate households,” Spelling says of her estranged husband. “So Stella wraps all the gifts with me, and it’s just, poor thing. She shops the gifts with me. So last year, I’m not kidding, Stella didn’t get a Christmas present at all.”
“Her big thing is she doesn’t want our lives to [be impacted]. So she is really driven on that,” Spelling explained. “This is tradition. This is what we’ve always done. We’re gonna do it. I’ll do it with you,” Spelling remembers her daughter saying. “I don’t care about my gift. I don’t want a gift.”
On a recent episode of her podcast misSPELLING, Spelling said Stella had been acting as a second mom to her other four kids as Spelling has adjusted to being separated from McDermott.
“Being a single mom and they’re with me, and their dad and I are super amicable and, you know, working through everything for the futures of separate families, but the kids live with me,” Spelling said. “I’m the primary caretaker.”
“And, as a single mom providing for them, there’s times when I’m working and I’m hustling. In the last three months, I’ve really been working my butt off, and I’m super grateful for that work,” she continued.
“But it’s like, it’s been constant, and there were days, you know, my kids range from 17 to 7. The 17-year-old, a 16-year-old, a 13-year-old, a 12-year-old, and a 7-year-old. And to be honest, and she calls herself this, my 16-year-old, who is my eldest daughter, has always said, I’m the second mom, and she really is,” Spelling said.
On Thanksgiving, Spelling shared a photo to Instagram featuring herself posing with her children on the set of Dancing with the Stars — which she competed in earlier this year.
“Happy Thanksgiving. Spending it loving hard and long on my 5 babies. The loves of my life. My purpose. My soul. They are truly all I need. I’m blessed and grateful for the amazing humans they all are. #loveyours #happythanksgivng #grateful,” she captioned the post.
