Inside, there’s an LED lit bar, high tables and a dance floor for their family and friends to party the night away.
Gemma’s parents Louise and Michael and her siblings James, 16, Emily, 14, and Jessica, 12, will all be in attendance.
The dressage rider, 19, looked incredible in white flares and a bandeau top on Christmas day as her family catered for 25 guests.
She shared snaps inside the family home and penned: “Feeling grateful for those closest to me.
“Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas.”
A private chef was on hand to cook a lavish festive feast.
Gemma, who split with Love Island co-star Luca Bish last month, discussed how Christmas Day tends to play out in an interview with Tatler, explaining it’s always the same.
“We’ve had the same Christmas Day for as long as I can remember.
“It’s one of the best days of the year,” she said.
Gemma explained things kick off at 6am when she goes with her mum and sisters to do “normal yard duties.”
Then, when dad Michael and her brother James are awake, they’ll head to her grandma’s house.
Gemma continued: “Gran normally does breakfast: bacon, sausage and egg sandwiches.
“There’s always a good vibe; we’re from a really big family, so there’s a lot of us, which makes it really fun.
“All the cousins have grown up a little bit now and no one’s too young. So it’s not all about Santa, it’s a different kind of Christmas. But it’s still just as special.”
They then return home for some more present giving, this time with mum Louise Bonsall’s side of the family.
Dad Michael is always in charge of the music according to the reality star, and likes to “put it on so loud” that no-one can hear what they’re saying.
Discussing the dinner arrangements, Gemma said: “We’ve tried several things. We’ve got too many people to eat out. But then in previous years we have tried everyone having their individual things to bring in and helping in that way.”
She added: “As a family, we’re not big gift givers, and my mum and dad’s present to the family is hosting Christmas Day and Christmas dinner.
“My dad’s friend has a catering company so it’s done as a little bit of a favour, which is a luxury in itself.
“We’re obviously very fortunate to be able to have both sides of the family all in one room, at one table, just having really good quality chat and eating and drinking.”
Gemma called her football star dad a “true host” and said he “comes into his own” when family and friends are round for Christmas.
“The competitive side comes out. Quite often, the dart will end up in the wall, but it won’t be Christmas at ours without a game of darts,” the star added.
