Lily Collins is celebrating the holiday season with her favourite! Guess who? Her daughter Tove.


On Thursday, Dec 25, the Emily in Paris actress, 36, shared a glimpse of her first Christmas with daughter Tove on Instagram. In the pictures, Collins can be seen lost in mommy duties, enjoying every moment.

“Our lil Tove's first Christmas and we're feeling all the magic of the holidays,” she captioned.





Collins’ holidays in real life are far from glamorous and look nothing like Emily’s. This is warm, calm, and all things family. The pictures she shared are a mix of her Christmas celebrations. From Tove’s Christmassy pajamas to festive decor, and even a cute selfie with the baby.

“Soaking in these moments in every way,” she said. She also dropped a picture of kissing her husband, Charlie McDowell. The actress also extended wishes for her fans during the holiday season. “Wishing you and yours the merriest Christmas and happiest holiday season…”
