Lopez smiled joyfully in the video, which was set to Bing Crosby’s 1962 holiday hit, “Winter Wonderland.”
The “Marry Me” actress kept things casual in a pair of camel-hued sweatpants and a white T-shirt as her family members decorated the twinkling Christmas tree.
Lopez’s living room was adorned with green garlands and white Christmas lights and there were several wrapped presents under the towering tree covered with gold ornaments.

She and her group also appeared to be enjoying a bottle of whiskey as well as some soothing tea served from a blue and ceramic white teapot.
While Lopez is in her single era following her breakup with Affleck, the exes still managed to celebrate each other over the holidays.
Page Six exclusively reported on Tuesday that the “Batman” star, 52, “purchased an autographed Marlon Brando book” for Lopez before exchanging gifts during their lunch at Sho House on Sunday.

“Ben gifted Jennifer with the book because she’s a fan, plus her Super Bowl bodysuit was inspired by Marlon Brando,” a source told us.
The insider noted that most of the gifts were for each other’s kids, however, they exchanged “a few small things for each other as well.”
“It was nothing over the top, but more so a gesture to celebrate the holidays,” the source said, adding, “Ben and Jennifer have remained amicable despite the ongoing divorce proceedings.”
