Christmas is approaching fast, and for Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright, this year carries a whole new meaning. It will be their very first festive season since welcoming their baby daughter, Palma, in March — a milestone that has quietly transformed their family life.

Baby Palma looked so sweet!

Sharing a rare glimpse on Instagram over the weekend, the Brassic actress delighted fans with an adorable snap of her little girl dressed for the holidays. Baby Palma was pictured wearing a tiny Santa hat paired with a white onesie decorated with a delicate floral pattern. Sitting in front of a box filled with Christmas ornaments, the tot appeared completely captivated by the twinkling decorations around her.

Michelle didn’t stop there. She also revealed her show-stopping Christmas tree in the grand foyer of the couple’s sprawling mansion. The towering tree stretched almost to the top of the staircase and was styled with bold red and black baubles, finished with coordinating ribbons. Summing up the festive scene in just two words, Michelle wrote: “Just magical.”

Since Palma’s arrival earlier this year, both Michelle and Mark have shared a handful of heart-melting moments with their followers. Earlier this month, Michelle uploaded a carousel of 16 photographs under the simple caption: “Work – life – balance”, complete with a scales emoji and a heart.

Among the images were several snaps fans had previously seen on her Stories — including a particularly sweet photo of mum and daughter wearing matching pyjamas. But it was the final picture that truly stole the spotlight.

In the rarely-seen nursery of their Essex home, baby Palma could be spotted holding an oversized wooden sign almost as big as herself. Framed with a bluish-beige border, tiny star details and a hot-air-balloon design, the sign featured her name, “Palma”, written in elegant cursive across the centre.

As she always does, Michelle carefully concealed her daughter’s face for privacy, allowing fans a glimpse of the moment without revealing too much.

When she first posted the matching pyjamas photo, Michelle jokingly suggested Palma had already made her modelling debut. “Matching with my girl,” she teased, adding that Palma “loved” the cosy outfit.

While the couple — who tied the knot in 2015 — have chosen to keep much of their new family life behind closed doors, Mark’s sister Jessica Wright recently offered a touching insight in an interview with The Sun’s Fabulous magazine.

“The cousins absolutely adore her,” Jessica said. “The three boys are so energetic, but they’re so gentle with her. She’s giggling now — it’s really sweet. They are a little group, and she’s the little princess, as she’s the only girl.”

For Michelle and Mark, this Christmas isn’t just about glittering trees and festive outfits — it’s about celebrating a brand-new chapter with the tiniest member of their family at the heart of it all.
