I've had at least two requests for a sub-forum to be created on the subject of Prime Ministerial records, ie. what football teams they supported, which one served the least time in the Commons etc. I don't think it warrants a new sub-forum but it's certainly worth a thread. So here's a thread.

Justin Trudeau and his brother were both born on Christmas Day. Is this a record?

There may be a few instances of siblings being born on the same day but years apart, but I don't recall any other siblings being born on different Christmases.
Two pieces of Prime Ministerial birthday trivia: David Cameron (09/10/1966) shares a birthday with Jess Phillips (09/10/1981) and Margaret Thatcher was born on the same day as Lenny Bruce (13/10/1925).

When were Jess Philips and Lenny Bruce Prime Minister? |

Both mine and my wife's siblings were born on the same day five years apart (ie my younger sister was born on my older sister's 5th birthday, my wife's youngest brother was born on her other brother's fifth birthday). Rather oddly, my brother-in-laws share their birthday with my mum... On topic, the best PM no-one's ever heard of (present company excepted), Henry Campbell-Bannerman was the only PM to be Father of the House at the same time as being Prime Minister. Ireland have of course had two since 1900 (Campbell-Bannerman and Enda Kenny). |

On topic, I give you an entire wikipedia page of Prime Ministerial records. My favourite part of the page is the facial hair category. Disraeli was the only sitting PM with enough fashion sense to sport a goatee, whilst Lord Salisbury was the only sitting PM with a full beard. |

I am glad that you did not give them a sub forum for this!
