Julianne Hough shows us how to spend Christmas.
On Tuesday, Dec. 23, the Dancing with the Stars co-host, 37, posted several photos to social media on Instagram of her having “Christmas at home.”
Adding a red heart emoji to the caption, the professional dancer started an Instagram carousel with a solo photo of herself posing in a tiny bikini in front of a decorated Christmas tree inside her living room.
In the celebratory photo, Hough modeled with her back arched in front of a holiday tree while surrounded by wrapped presents.
Floor-to-ceiling glass windows gave us a view of the pups and pool area into the backyard.
The same dog appears in the second slide, this time with a fully clothed Huff smiling and holding a drink in her hand.
The compilation also includes shots of her lounging by the pool and inside a large bag near a Christmas tree, suggesting that she herself is a gift.
Huff’s mother, Marian Huff, was also in several photos. As Julianne explained on her Instagram Story, the couple once had their daughter resting her head on her lap, and the other time in front of the Christmas tree with her “high school sweetheart Doug.”
“I love LOVE,” she wrote in a subsequent slide.
The Safe Haven actress shared her recent trip on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Dec. 23, documenting herself spending time with loved ones in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, while on vacation.
After a group training session, Julianne shared photos and videos of herself walking along fallen tree branches in a wooded area on a sunny day wearing a bikini and straw hat.
In the video, she carefully balances herself and avoids falling into the ditch below as she runs.

Rolling pins, clay, and other materials were placed on a table in the outdoor deck area overlooking the water.
Julianne also shared how an instructor taught a small group how to mold clay, then joked about being a “trad wife” while wearing an apron and posing with a friend with a rolling pin.
