Pete Wicks Chooses a Solitary Christmas Embracing the Holiday Alone

Pete Wicks, a notable figure from reality television, has made it clear that he will once again spend this Christmas alone. Despite receiving invitations from his best friend, Sam Thompson, and Thompson’s mother, Wicks has decided to embrace solitude during the festive season.

Choosing Solitude Over Festivities

At 37 years old, Wicks has publicly expressed his disdain for Christmas. He revealed his wish to “hibernate” from early December until January 1. In a candid interview with Heat magazine, he stated, “If I could hibernate from December 1 until January 1, I would.”

Wicks, formerly of *The Only Way Is Essex*, has a routine for the holidays. This year, he plans to spend it with his rescue dog, Eric. He shared, “I imagine I’ll sit on my own with Eric and have a Pot Noodle.” Although this arrangement is standard for him, he has hinted at the possibility of traveling for a change of scenery during this festive period.

Declining Offers From Friends

Despite the warm invites from his friend Sam and Sam’s mum, Wicks remains firm in his choice. He remarked, “They think I’m Tiny Tim, like a little orphan. What they don’t realize is that I choose to spend Christmas on my own.”

Upcoming Projects and Personal Growth

As the new year approaches, Wicks is reflecting on self-improvement. He intends to focus on breaking bad habits, including smoking. He noted, “I would like to try to knock that on the head – but I say that every year, and it hasn’t worked so far.”

• Wicks aims to spend more time on personal well-being in 2026.
• He is prioritizing the potential return of his show, *For Dogs’ Sake*.
• Wicks and Sam Thompson have plans for new projects and possible tours.

Wicks also shared his mixed feelings about festive activities. Recently, he filmed a special episode of *For Dogs’ Sake*. However, he found filming in August while adorned in Christmas sweaters quite uncomfortable due to the heat.

The reality star may not enjoy the holiday season, but he clearly has a commitment to his canine companions and upcoming professional endeavors. As he prepares for another solitary Christmas, Pete Wicks remains focused on his goals for 2026.
