Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa spent Christmas Eve with Tarek’s ex-wife, Christina Haack, and their blended family. Heather documented the festive occasion on her Instagram story, sharing videos of the family’s journey to Haack’s home. In one video, Heather playfully asks Tarek, “Daddy bear, where are we going?” to which he responds, “To Christina’s house to celebrate Christmas.” Haack reposted the story with a humorous caption, suggesting Tarek sounded less than enthusiastic.

The blended family enjoyed a lavish Christmas feast, complete with a 14-pound prime rib and caviar. Both Tarek and Haack’s families joined in the celebration. Heather also shared glimpses of their Christmas morning with their one-year-old son, Tristan, who celebrated his first Christmas. The family donned matching Santa pajamas, watched the holiday classic Elf, and even took a Christmas morning stroll, despite Tarek’s preference for a lazy Christmas morning.
This heartwarming Christmas gathering is just one example of how the blended family has come together to celebrate holidays throughout the year. In November, the couple shared photos of their Thanksgiving celebration with their extended family.

Their shared celebrations extend beyond traditional holidays. In October, Tarek and Heather delighted fans with photos of their Halloween costumes. The couple dressed as Peggy and Al Bundy from the iconic sitcom Married… with Children, while Tristan sported a Los Angeles Angels baseball uniform and Brayden, Tarek and Christina’s son, wore a shark costume.
Heather has also publicly embraced her role as a stepmother to Tarek’s older children, Taylor and Brayden. In a touching Instagram post for Taylor’s 14th birthday, Heather referred to Taylor as her “bonus daughter” and expressed her love and admiration for the teenager. The post included a series of photos capturing heartwarming moments between Heather and Taylor over the years.
Beyond holiday gatherings, the blended family dynamic extends to their professional lives. Tarek, Heather, and Christina are set to star in a new HGTV series titled The Flip Off, a house-flipping competition show. The show was initially planned to include Christina’s ex-husband, Josh Hall, but his participation is uncertain following their recent divorce filing.
The Flip Off premieres on HGTV on January 29th.
