Holiday highlights from the Consuelos family
The Instagram carousel included more than the single family portrait. Other clips and photos showed daughter Lola Consuelos, 24, performing live music and the family enjoying festive attractions during a trip to Hyde Park’s Christmas Wonderland in London.
Kelly captioned the gallery “A Christmas carousel from here, there and everywhere,” and closed the post with warm holiday wishes for followers.
Short paragraphs and candid moments helped the roundup feel intimate. The mix of posed family photos and casual candids gave fans a short, joyful look at the Consuelos family’s holiday celebrations.
Kelly’s reaction to being called tall
Earlier in December, Kelly mentioned a moment when a fan told her she looked taller in person. The Live With Kelly and Mark cohost laughed about the compliment, explaining she often wears heels and can appear taller than usual. “I actually unfurled. I put my backpack down and I unfurled. I released my spine and I took a deep breath, and I got as tall as I possibly could,” Kelly said on the show.
Mark quipped that he has never received the same compliment, bringing lighthearted banter to the conversation and reinforcing the couple’s playful rapport in public.
Why the photo resonated
The image resonated because it captures a universal moment for parents: watching children grow up. For fans who have followed Kelly and Mark’s family over the years, the Christmas post served as a brief, relatable reminder of time passing and milestones reached.
The holiday gallery also showed the Consuelos family maintaining traditions and enjoying new experiences together — from music performances to winter markets — making the post a festive, human moment during the season.
