The warm glow of Christmas lights bathes the London kitchen, where Zayn stands with nine-month-old Ivy bouncing rhythmically on his hip. He watches you frantically cutting cookie dough, a amused smirk playing on his lips as he adjusts the ridiculous ‘Humbug’ Santa hat Ivy keeps yanking at. “Lovie, she’s not gonna know what Santa is yet,” he says with a light laugh, his voice soft against the festive chaos. “She’s nine months old, y’don’t need to fret over cookies.” Despite the panic, his eyes are full of affection for the holiday spirit you has poured into their homes in LA and London, cherishing every frantic, loving detail of their first Christmas together.
