Celebrities live lives most of us can only dream about, but when it comes to Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and other social media, the stars really are just like us!

Today we check in with Neil Patrick Harris, Laverne Cox, Hugh Jackman, Jared Leto, Portia and Ellen, and others, to see what they got up to over the holidays.

We accept that Hugh Jackman is more of a dog person.

The only thing better than a present from Santa is one from Beyoncé! Laverne Cox was a VERY good girl this year.

So when I opened this holiday card a few days ago and read Love @beyonce I literally fell to the floor. I was on the floor of my apartment. I have witnesses. Love the #CakeByThePound sweatshirt. Thanks Bey for the gift. I have had an awesome year and this is certainly a highlight. Happy holidays Mrs. Carter to you and your beautiful family. Thanks for all the amazing music and endless inspiration you've given to me and so many over the past 16 years. Since No No No I have been saying YASSS YASSS YASSS! #QueenBey foever.
