Fiona the Hippo Celebrating Her First Christmas Is the Best Gift You Didn't Know You Needed

Merry Christmas from Fiona the Hippo!

Her holiday festivities are just the latest milestones in Fiona’s life.

In addition to celebrating her first Halloween by smashing pumpkins with her mouth, the Cincinnati Zoo announced last week that Fiona’s bottle feedings will soon end.

Born on Jan. 24, 2017, Fiona arrived two months early and weighed only 29 lbs., half the weight of a normal baby hippo. Her story (and cute face!) tugged at the heartstrings of many animal lovers, quickly growing Fiona’s popularity at the zoo and on social media.

In July, Fiona announced on PEOPLE that she is coming out with a book about her inspiring survival story called Saving Fiona: Science, Social Media, and the Story of a Baby Hippo. Crafted with the millions of Fiona fans in mind, this book is set to come out on Feb. 5, 2019.
