The singer-actress was photographed wearing a luxurious fur-hooded ensemble with matching boots, while her child stayed cozy in winter attire. Another endearing snapshot revealed Emme in festive red plaid pajamas, opening presents beneath their decorated Christmas tree.
The family gathering included Lopez’s younger sister Lynda, 53, who coordinated with Emme in matching sleepwear. Lynda was captured admiring the snow-covered mountain vista from their Aspen residence’s window. The sisters also documented their time together with a stylish selfie, both sporting oversized sunglasses and fur coats during their town outing.
To commemorate their white Christmas experience, Jennifer shared footage of the falling snow. She also gave followers a peek into their Christmas Eve festivities, showing the family’s intimate gathering around a fireplace.
“Merry Christmas Eve to you and yours,” she wrote alongside a video featuring herself with twins Emme and Max, 16, whom she co-parents with former spouse Mark Anthony.
The holiday celebration comes in the wake of Lopez’s August divorce filing from Affleck, marking the end of their marriage on their second wedding anniversary. During their union, Lopez had embraced a blended family dynamic with Affleck’s three children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.

Despite their separation, the former couple maintains an amicable relationship, particularly for their children’s sake. Page Six reported that they recently participated in a holiday gift exchange involving both families.
“Ben gifted Jennifer with the book because she’s a fan, plus her Super Bowl bodysuit was inspired by Marlon Brando,” a source revealed to the outlet, noting that while the children received most presents, the adults exchanged modest gifts as well.
“It was nothing over the top, but more so a gesture to celebrate the holidays,” the insider explained, adding, “Ben and Jennifer have remained amicable despite the ongoing divorce proceedings.”
Meanwhile, Affleck spent Christmas Day with his children as he adjusts to single life.
