Britney Spears celebrated Christmas this year with her son, Jayden James, 19. Sources indicate that the holiday was "special" for the pop icon. Meanwhile, her other son, Sean Preston, 20, spent the holiday in Louisiana with his aunt, Jamie Lynn Spears, and her family.

According to a source, Britney and Jayden enjoyed a "fun time" together during the Christmas celebration. In June 2024, Britney shared a photo and video on Instagram of herself and Jayden at church. Sources also mentioned that Jayden had reunited with his mother at her Los Angeles home in November 2024, and they have been spending quality time together since then. It has been reported that this has made Britney very happy.

Sean Preston's time with his aunt Jamie Lynn was documented in photos shared on Instagram, showing him with Jamie Lynn's daughters, Maddie, 17, and Ivey, 7, as well as her husband, Jamie Watson, and their mother, Lynne Spears. The family gathering appeared to have a relaxed and low-key atmosphere.

Britney's relationships with her sons have been a topic of public interest for years. In mid-October 2024, Britney responded to her ex-husband Kevin Federline's remarks about their sons' relationship with her, defending her connection with them. She stated that she had "always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys".

Jamie Lynn Spears, in addition to hosting Sean Preston for Christmas, also made headlines for a Christmas gift she gave to her daughter, Maddie. She gifted Maddie an ATV, nearly nine years after Maddie's near-fatal ATV accident in February 2017. Jamie Lynn shared photos on Instagram of Maddie and Ivey with the new ATV, which had Maddie's name on it. Maddie was critically injured in 2017 when the ATV she was riding tipped over into a pond, trapping her underwater for several minutes. She was in a coma for several days but made a full recovery. In August 2025, Maddie discussed the accident on her YouTube channel.

Kevin Federline, Britney's ex-husband, mentioned in November 2025 that his sons had been in contact with Britney, expressing his desire for them to have a good relationship with her. He also released a memoir in 2025, which included private text messages between himself and Jamie Lynn Spears, where she allegedly expressed resentment towards Britney's treatment of her sons.

Despite past challenges, Britney has reportedly "never gave up" hope of reconnecting with her sons. This year's Christmas celebrations indicate a positive step in mending those family ties.
