They’ve all made a name for themselves on the international stage.
But Australian celebrities and royals alike have embarked on the long journey back home for Christmas to celebrate the festive season with their friends and family.

Ruby Rose and Jessica Origliasso
Ruby Rose playfully announced her return home on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, telling viewers she was ‘nervous’ about coming home.
The 31-year-old, who admitted she has a rule about spending Christmas in Australia every year, said she was afraid of the ‘stalker pig’ she gave her mother six years ago.
‘Euphemia’ the pig was a gift from Ruby to her parents, but grew extremely large – much larger than the original ‘teacup’ size it was advertised to be.
It apparently ‘stalks’ the Pitch Perfect 3 star around the house, which is something she’d rather avoid this holiday season.
Ruby’s girlfriend Jessica Origliasso – who is one half of pop duo The Veronicas – will also join her in Australia.

Liam, 27, and his fiancée Miley Cyrus – who rekindled their romance around Christmas two years ago – will be spending December 25 in Nashville.
But they will fly to Australia before New Years Eve to be with the rest of his family.
The on-off couple has long been the subject of ‘secret wedding’ rumours, leading fans to speculate they will elope Down Under.
An ‘insider’ told HollywoodLife Miley was struggling to buy a gift this year because Liam ‘isn’t into material things’ – perhaps signalling they will tie the knot as the most romantic gesture of all.

Margot Robbie has also returned home for the first time in a year, spending some time in Byron Bay, New South Wales for a friend’s hens party.
But on Christmas Day she’ll be on the Gold Coast with her mother Sarie Kessler – something she has been looking forward to for a while.
‘Obviously (I miss) big things like my family and my friends, being there to see my nephew grow up, weddings, funerals, all those big important moments where everyone comes together,’ she told The Courier-Mail about living overseas.
She added: ‘To be away during those things sucks. But even the small things suck. Like, I miss Burger Rings, I miss Nutri-Grain! I can’t wait to go back.’

‘I kind of got a little intoxicated by it because the work they’re doing is so immediate, it’s so present.’
