Hong Kong television personality Priscilla Wong and her actor husband, Edwin Siu, marked a significant milestone this week, celebrating their three-month-old son’s first Christmas Eve. The couple, known for their public relationship and entertaining social media presence, shared glimpses of their intimate family celebration, featuring a playful attempt to dress their son in festive attire.
The infant, whom the couple affectionately addresses by the nickname “Siu Ha Ha” (a reference to laughter), made his debut in March, and this holiday season represents his first major public appearance alongside his parents. To commemorate the occasion, Ms. Wong purchased a special holiday outfit, transforming their son into what she described as a “mini Christmas tree.”
Sharing the family portrait on social media, Ms. Wong noted the fleeting nature of the event. While their son appeared undeniably “super cute” in the photos, the infant reportedly proved unenthusiastic about the costume accessories, specifically the socks and hat, quickly removing them shortly after the photo opportunity.
“Christmas Eve added a little tree, but the little tree wasn’t very cooperative,” Ms. Wong wrote in her post, adding that the festive look was ultimately a “limited-time engagement of half an hour.” She concluded the heartfelt message by wishing followers happiness.
The post, which quickly garnered thousands of reactions, resonated with fans and parents alike, highlighting the humorous realities of celebrating holidays with very young children. Their choice to share unfiltered, relatable moments stands in contrast to the often-polished image presented by celebrity families, making the couple particularly endearing to the public.
Celebrities frequently utilize social media platforms to maintain connection with their large fan bases, using significant life events such as the birth of a child or holiday celebrations as opportunities for engagement. The dynamic shifts, however, when balancing privacy with public demand, especially concerning minors. Wong and Siu have selectively shared images while generally protecting their son’s full identity.
The couple, prominent figures in Hong Kong entertainment for over a decade, married in 2018 and welcomed their first child earlier this year. Their decision to share this first holiday experience provides a humanizing lens on their private life, focusing attention not just on their professional careers but also on their roles as new parents navigating the demands of family and fame. Celebrations like these often draw significant media interest, reinforcing the public’s enduring fascination with the personal lives of well-known personalities. This marks the beginning of many holiday traditions for the new family, regardless of how long the festive outfits manage to stay on.
