In a heartwarming and humorous holiday gesture, global music icon Céline Dion shared a special Christmas message with her fans, directly from her home. The Quebec-born superstar, who has maintained a low public profile since her 2022 diagnosis of stiff person syndrome, stepped back into the spotlight in a most festive way.
A Grinch-Inspired Christmas Greeting
On December 24, 2025, Dion took to Instagram to post a creatively produced video. In it, she masterfully re-created a memorable scene from the beloved Christmas classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Donning a full Grinch costume, complete with green fur and a mischievous expression, the singer settled in by a cozy fireplace for her performance.
The video quickly captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Sitting with a tiny dog wearing reindeer horns on her lap, Dion launched into a monologue in the character of the Grinch. "The nerve of those Whos. Inviting me on such short notice," she declared with playful indignation. "Even if I wanted to go, my schedule wouldn’t allow it."
The Ultimate 'Grinch Schedule' Revealed
Dion then proceeded to detail her impossibly busy December 24 agenda, poking fun at the hectic nature of the holidays and her own legendary work ethic. Her fictional schedule was both absurd and endearing:
- 4:00 PM: Exercise my voice.
- 4:30 PM: Wake my children up.
- 5:00 PM: Solve world hunger — tell no one.
- 5:30 PM: Jazzercize.
- 6:30 PM: Dinner with me. I can’t cancel that again!
- 7:00 PM: Wrestle with my creative ideas.
"I’m booked!" she exclaimed, emphasizing the packed timetable. She then mused about potentially rescheduling her creative ideas to 9 PM, which would leave time to "lay in bed and scroll TikTok videos endlessly."
A Simple, Heartfelt Wish
With a twinkle in her eye, Dion then offered an alternative to her elaborate Grinch persona. "Or, I can just simply wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year," she said, before adding with a grin, "Boring!" The video concluded on a poignant and familiar note, with the superstar singing a line from one of her signature songs: "When I was young, I never needed anyone. All by myself…"
This festive post marks one of the singer's few public appearances since she revealed her ongoing health battle. The video serves as a powerful reminder of her resilience, enduring sense of humor, and deep connection with her fans. By choosing a character known for a heart that grows three sizes, Dion delivered a perfectly nuanced message of love, laughter, and seasonal cheer from her home in Montreal, Quebec.
