Lopez’s merry-go-round also included another photo of her legs crossed in front of a Christmas tree and another of her loved ones lounging on the couch.
“Merry Christmas Queen 🥹🎄❤️ May you and your family have the best time ever. Sending you love always 🫶🏼,” one fan commented under the post.
Another wrote: “Merry Christmas to you and your family! ❤️🎄.”
The Kiss of the Spider-Woman star, who shares twins Maximilian “Max” David with Emme and ex-husband Marc Anthony, shared more selfies on her Instagram Stories with the caption “Merry Christmas Eve.”
Lopez is known for celebrating Christmas Eve with her family.
Last year, the mother of two shared a clip of her family decorating a Christmas tree.
“Merry Christmas Eve,” she wrote with a big smile next to the decorations.
Lopez’s recent Christmas Eve post comes after a source tells PEOPLE that she and ex-husband Ben Affleck reunited with their son Samuel for some holiday shopping in Los Angeles.

“They met and went shopping together. Jen and Ben seemed to be in good spirits,” a source tells PEOPLE. “The focus was mainly on Sam.”
“He was excited and chatty. They bought gifts at several high-end stores,” the source added. “Jen asked lots of questions and chose presents for Ben’s kids. They arrived separately and left separately.”
The pair were photographed arriving at the farm shop for lunch.
Lopez and Affleck were married from 2022 until they separated in 2024, and were engaged from 2002 to 2004.
