Christmas Day
On Christmas Day, the Trudeau family wakes up early to open presents. In an interview with CTV News, Justin Trudeau said that his favorite part of Christmas is "watching my kids open their presents, and seeing their faces light up." After opening presents, the family enjoys a big breakfast together.
Charitable Donations
Christmas is a time of giving, and the Trudeau family is no stranger to charitable donations. In 2019, they donated $300,000 to local charities, including the Ottawa Food Bank and the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. The family also volunteers their time during the holiday season, serving food at local shelters and participating in toy drives.
