OBE is Order of the British Empire honour for humanitarian work.
The honour comes 13 years after footballer husband David, 41, received his OBE
Victoria, 42, told her family during the festive period, when it is understood they retreated for a private family break in the Maldives.
Fashion designer is mother to sons Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, and Cruz, 11, along with daughter Harper, five.
A source close to the family told MailOnline Victoria is especially pleased to be receiving the Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire honour for her humanitarian work.
Victoria's eponymous line made a modest debut at New York Fashion Week in September 2008.
The former Spice Girl shot to fame in 1994 as one-fifth of the chart-topping band alongside Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell
Victoria Beckham has been named on the Queen's New Year's Honours list, she revealed to her family this Christmas.
Expecting an OBE for her fashion empire and body of charity work, the mother-of-four will follow in famous husband David's footsteps, 13 years after he received his nod from the Queen.
Sources close to the family told MailOnline on Wednesday that Victoria, 42, was 'delighted and humbled for the recognition'.
Victoria Beckham doesn't like to do things by halves.
The rest of us are still deciding what to wear for the Christmas party, but VB is already thinking about next year's biggest trends! She was pictured out and about in New York modelling a matching shirt and skirt from her very own Pre-AW17 collection, which she teamed with heels from the SS17 collection. Way ahead of us, as ever!
We love the bold blue and white print, as well as the structured waistband and flattering length of the skirt. Clearly the midi trend is going to stick around! It makes a real statement when teamed with the shirt, but would look great with a simple tee tucked in too.
Of course, you'll have to wait a while to get your hands on the real deal, but click (right) to shop the current collection at Net-a-Porter.
Having transferred her skills from singing to designing, former Spice Girl Victoria is recognised for her work in fashion, most notably her eponymous clothes label and its secondary diffusion line Victoria, Victoria Beckham.
Victoria's husband-of-17-years David received his OBE at Buckingham Palace in 2003 for services to football, with Victoria by his side.
Speaking earlier this year for the documentary Our Queen At Ninety, the former sportsman said it remains one of his proudest moment.
'That day was special for me because I brought my grandparents with me, it made me proud that I could bring them to somewhere that they worshipped for their whole lives.
He added: 'Meeting the Queen, it doesn't get better than that. You can feel the emotion, I can personally feel the emotion, because I just love everything about our Queen and what she represents.
'We all look for role models, we all look for leaders. I'm privileged and proud that we have the number one leader.'
