'Tis the season to be jolly! 5 favourite wintery places with Maltese pop star Gaia Cauchi
The X-mas factor!

Nicole Parnis

Christmas is now just around the corner, and we're super excited, to say the least! Gaia Cauchi might be an internationally recognised popstar, who's in the middle of a London recording session as we speak, but when it comes to Christmas, she's a self-confessed home bod! 

"In the winter I love to stay home and stare at the rain and watch Christmas movies with my family" she tells Guide Me Malta, and we don't blame her. We love getting snuggled up and sticking 'Love Actually' on and eating Quality Street in our Christmas PJs just like a popstar too! 

From girly dinners to ice skating, we caught up with Gaia to find out where she loves to spend her leisure time during the chillier months. We don't know about you, but all this talk of shopping sprees and Christmas markets has got us into the Christmas Spirit! Here's what Gaia had to share with Guide Me Malta.

1. For cosy family festivities

2. For a spot of Christmas shopping

"This year, I would love to go to ice skating at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, London, because I’ve never been! I’ve heard so many great things about it and I think it’s about time to try it out since I’m going up to the UK in December...I can't wait!"

Thanks Gaia and we wish you a super sparkly Christmas!
