Whilst a sun-soaked holiday might not be the most budget-friendly option out there when it comes to beating the winter blues, there's no denying that a dose of sunshine really does help to lift the mood and trigger serotonin production.

As we continue to pine for the sunshine, we're looking to the stars for some much-needed bikini inspiration. From Rita Ora to Rebel Wilson and Salma Hayek to Gisele Bundchen, keep scrolling for a sneak peek inside their lavish getaways and their fabulous wardrobes to boot…

Millie Bobby Brown

Millie Bobby Brown, 19, soaked up some festive sunshine in a colourful floral print bikini. The sun-kissed Stranger Things actress was positively glowing as she lapped up the sunshine in her chic swimwear. 

It's not clear if Millie was travelling solo, with family, or with her beau Jake Bongiovi

The couple, who announced their engagement earlier this year after three years of dating, entered their first holiday season officially as fiancés, before presumably tying the knot next year.

Alex Scott

Football Focus star Alex Scott is a fan of winter sun, often jet setting to sunnier climes over the festive season.

This December, the former Lioness donned a candy cane striped bikini and sipped on an ice cold drink as she enjoyed an intimate festive getaway with singer Jess Glynne - who she was first linked to in October this year.

Rochelle and her hubby Marvin Humes put their I'm a Celeb jungle woes behind them in December as they jetted off on a family holiday with their three children in tow. Ditching the glum London weather for some serious sunshine, the family of five travelled to the eternally balmy Abu Dhabi.

Eschewing her winter wardrobe, Rochelle, 34, was quick to debut a figure-flattering black bikini from Arabella London which she teamed with a stylish baseball cap from Ru & Rocka.

Rebel made a strong case for neon orange earlier this month as she jetted off to far-flung Fiji for a tropical break jam-packed with beach days and water sports.

For her dose of vitamin C, the comedian and actress, 43, donned a figure-flattering long-sleeve swimsuit which she teamed with a pair of golden polaroid sunglasses. Fresh from the sea, the blonde beauty also treated herself to a refreshing coconut drink topped with juicy pineapple and a pretty hibiscus flower.

Looking beautiful and bronzed, the Strictly pro turned heads in a vibrant spearmint bikini top which she paired with some black bikini bottoms. She accessorised with a wide-brimmed black hat and nonchalantly held onto a pair of sunglasses to protect against the sun's rays. Petition to swap London's grisly skies for Dianne's lapis lazuli dreamscape…
