Ola and James Jordan alternate between spending Christmas in Poland and the UK.
'Strictly Come Dancing' star Ola loves getting together with family during the festive season and explains she and her 36-year-old husband, who was axed from the BBC One celebrity dance contest last year, either stay in England or travel to her native Poland.
Quizzed on whether she and James have a big family celebration at Christmas, she said: "Yes we do. We either say here or we go to Poland so we're not sure what we're going to do this year.
"Last year we were here so maybe we'll go to Poland."
And while James agreed that they alternate between the two countries, he was under the impression they'd visited Ola's family last year and was hoping to stay in England this year.
He said: "I think we're staying here this year because last year we went to Poland and this year we'll probably stay in the UK."
However, no matter where they end up spending the big day, James claims his wife will be enjoying putting her feet up after months of training and competing with her celebrity partner, 'Deadly 60' presenter Steve Backshall, on the BBC One show.
He said: "Well, Ola will probably be resting and I'll probably have loads of energy and just wind her up."

Frankie Bridge won't wait "too long" before having another baby.
The Saturdays singer has confessed she's thinking about having a second child with retired footballer husband Wayne Bridge, 34, as she wants a younger brother or sister for their 14-month-old son Parker.
She said: "I'd love Parker to have a brother or sister - them being close in age would be so fun.
"Wayne's desperate to have another because Parker isn't a baby anymore. I don't want to leave it too long."
The 25-year-old star recently came in third place on BBC One celebrity dance contest 'Strictly Come Dancing' and admits that while she loved the experience, she found it difficult to spend so much time away from her son.
She told OK! magazine: "I missed Parker so much. But I knew he was at home with Wayne having a good time, which actually made me jealous of Wayne getting to spend so much time with him.
"Sometimes I'd get in the car after leaving him and I'd get so upset."
Frankie - who claims she never thought she'd beat Caroline Flack on the show - insists she's thrilled to be back home with her family now.
She added: "Strictly was amazing but being reunited with Parker was better. I'm back to mummy duty and that's the best job!
"I'm just completely besotted with Parker - him and Wayne are the best thing that's ever happened to me."

Sammy Winward will "never" appear in a reality show.
The 'Emmerdale' actress - who is set to exit the ITV soap in the new year - insists she has no interest in remaining in the limelight by taking part in reality TV such as 'I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!' or 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
She said: "I would never do a reality show. The thought of doing them is terrifying. Too much stress and worrying about what people would say if I did something wrong.
"I've been approached to do a few shows but always turned them down."
The 29-year-old star - who has played Katie Addyman in Corrie for 13 years - admits she's tempted by the idea of 'Strictly Come Dancing' but claims she wouldn't be able to cope with the public scrutiny.
The blonde beauty - who reportedly sparked a reality TV bidding war following the announcement she'd quit the soap - told The Sun newspaper: "I would love to do Strictly if it wasn't filmed. I suppose my dancing background might help. I would love to go and learn all the steps but only if it wasn't filmed for TV."
Meanwhile, Sammy has confessed filming scenes where Katie marries on-off love Andy Sugden (Kelvin Fletcher) for the soap's Christmas special was bittersweet.
She added: "There were lots of tears. It reminded Kelvin and I how long we have been on 'Emmerdale' for."

The new series of 'Broadchurch' will not be a whodunit, according to writer Chris Chibnall.
The 43-year-old TV writer has revealed the upcoming second series of the ITV drama will not be a murder mystery that kicks off with a body being found as he wanted to maintain the idea that the murder of a child "never happens" in the Dorset town where the show is set.
He said: "I will not betray that. That's always been my pact with the viewer - this [murder] is an unusual event that has massive repercussions.
"People have said, 'Don't turn it into 'Midsomer Murders' in 'Broadchurch'. We have nodded in that direction. It's not Midsomer in Broadchurch."
The highly anticipated second series sees the return of Detective Inspector Alec Hardy (David Tennant) and Detective Sergeant Ellie Miller (Olivia Coleman), but will have a different "feel" to the first instalment with "grief" not being the "driving emotion", Chibnall explains.
Speaking about the way in which the show has evolved, David told Radio Times magazine: "We're back in the same situation, though it's a different sort of suspense this time ... Of course, the murder of a child is the most appalling thing humanity can do ... [the new series is] differently bad."
The former 'Doctor Who' star added that he's worried about giving away too much detail before the second series kicks off on January 5, explaining: "I worry about saying something out of line, or puncturing a balloon."

Kym Marsh is the "happiest" she's ever been following her engagement.
The 'Coronation Street' actress revealed her boyfriend Dan Hooper had popped the question earlier this month and she's now confessed she never dreamed her year would end on such a high note following her rocky start to 2014.
She said: "I'm the happiest I've ever been and if I'd been told that at the beginning of 2014 I wouldn't have believed it.
"At the start of the year I was going through my divorce [from Jamie Lomas] and I was still recovering from the operation that meant I couldn't have any more children."
The 38-year-old star - who plays pub landlady Michelle Connor in the ITV soap - insists her newfound joy is all down to meeting her husband-to-be.
Writing in her column for OK! magazine she added: "At that point, I couldn't have imagined my life would've changed so much or that I could be as happy as I am now. Everything changed when I met Dan."
The brunette beauty's comments come following news she was planning to quit social networking site Twitter after she and her children were targeted by trolls.
However, a source close to Kym insists her absence from the site is simply as result of her looking after a sick relative.
The insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "A member of her family has been quite poorly the last few days which has meant she has been offline as for Kym family always comes before anything else. She'll be back tweeting soon enough."

Alan Davies thinks soaps are "responsible" for the "death of the sitcom".
The 'Jonathan Creek' star claims long-running shows such as 'EastEnders' and 'Coronation Street' are filling up precious time slots that could be better used for new comedy series.
Insisting he and his family are not fans, he said: "Any soap gets turned off. Just the theme tune of 'EastEnders' is enough
"I hold soaps responsible for the death of the sitcom. All the best slots have been taken by the soaps. The actors are doing their best in an impossible situation, with so many lines to learn in not enough time."
The 'QI' panellist claims that while soaps are good enough to keep people "hooked", he thinks there are better alternatives out there.
He continued to Radio Times magazine: "They have my professional sympathy. It's just a factory turning out not very good drama ... I get why people are hooked but like anything mass produced, you're not going to get as nice a meal in a fast food place as when a chef has time to prepare it properly."

Joey Essex and Ashley Roberts have sparked speculation they could get together after flirting while training for 'The Jump'.
The former 'TOWIE' star and the ex-Pussycat Doll are said to have hit it off while practicing for the Channel 4 winter sports reality TV series and rumours are rife that the pair might embark on a relationship as they are both said to "really fancy each other".
An insider said: "There is an obvious connection between Joey and Ashley, who both really fancy each other. They're both up for a laugh and don't take life too seriously.
"Joey likes a blonde and Ashley ticks all the right boxes. Plus they've both got their 'I'm A Celebrity' jungle experience, which they share, despite having been in the show on different years."
The 24-year-old reality TV star is said to have been a "rock" for blonde beauty Ashley, 33, after helping her out a lot while the pair have been learning the various sports required in the show including bobsleigh, speed skating and ski jumping.
The insider added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Ashley has found parts of the training difficult and Joey has been helping her. He has been her rock."
What's more, there has already been on-screen evidence of Joey's flirting with Ashley as when the pair presented a prize at the British Comedy Awards earlier this month the hunk - who was previously engaged to his former 'TOWIE' co-star Sam Faiers - joked he had "pulled" the stunner.
When asked by host Jonathan Ross how training for 'The Jump' was going, Joey replied: "Well, I've pulled myself a pussycat."
Joey and Ashley will be joined on the show, which starts filming in Austria at the end of January, by singer-turned-farmer J.B. Gill, Made in Chelsea's Louise Thompson, former England rugby captain Mike Tindall, 'Jackass' star Steve-O and former 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant Sally Bercow among others.

Miquita Oliver's new year's resolution is to work the "hardest" she has ever done in her entire life.
The TV presenter is planning on making 2015 a very successful year and she knows the best way to achieve her goal is throw herself into lots of different projects.
She told BANG Showbiz: "My new year's resolution is to literally work harder than I've ever worked in my life. Knuckle down and become a saint with work. I always work really hard but I really want to dedicate every single part of my life to working because it is going to be a really exciting time."
Before her year of hard work, Miquita has been enjoying a relaxing Christmas break in the Cotswolds in Cheltenham, south west England, to recharge her batteries.
She said: "I go to my friends in the Cotswolds for Christmas every year. Her daughter is my goddaughter so I go and spend Christmas there with all her family and stuff, it's so much fun. I love it, it is really beautiful, a big country house. I love it in Cheltenham.
"It is a beautiful part of the country and it is real luxury to have a friend that lives there.
"It's great going for a country walk and taking her seven dogs out. I love going, I spend about a week over Christmas. That's my rest before the New Year starts."

Russell Kane will be working on New Year's Eve (31.12.14).
The TV comic is heading up to Inverness in Scotland for a job so will see in 2015 north of the border and then once he's finished him and his fiancée Lindsey Cole are jetting off to India for several weeks for a break.
He told BANG Showbiz: "New year I'm flying out to Inverness to do this holiday party. I'll be up there with Lindsey and then after that we're off to India to just explore for a few weeks.
"I'm going with Lindsey, I don't really do much travelling without her. I went to Ibiza without her this year but, there's just no point."
Russell is looking forward to having a few weeks off because Christmas was hectic as he and Lindsey hosted both their families for lunch on the big day.
He said: "Me and Linds hosted Christmas at ours, all our family just invaded. But it's great fun afterwards we just chilled out."
Russell has also made a list of new year's resolutions and he is confident he'll be able to stick to them in 2015.
He said: "My New Year's resolutions are to see my friends and family more. I'm always working, even when I'm not touring I'm a workaholic, so I definitely am planning on doing that. I managed to stick to last year's, so hopefully this year will be the same.
"Last year's was to get fit. I can't exercise with people watching me so, I wanted a set of instructions from a personal trainer. So, he was like, 'You'll never stick to it.' And I did, and now I'm buff."
