Donny Osmond got merry and bright in his new festive Christmas picture with his huge lookalike family.
The actor shared a celebratory shot from his seasonal get-together which featured a plethora of family members with a range in ages, from babies to the elderly.
Donny was seen sitting in front of his relatives in his Instagram post while holding a baby as his wife Debbie Osmond sat next to him holding a toddler. Donny sported a simple black quarter-zip sweater, tailored gray pants and black dress shoes. Debbie donned a long hot pink dress in the backyard picture.
The singer shared a sentimental message to his followers: “Debbie and I, along with our entire family, want to wish you a very Merry Christmas! It’s amazing how this season has a way of reminding us what matters most: family, friends, faith, and the moments we share with the people we love. We hope that your Christmas is filled with warmth and joy wherever you may be. Hold your loved ones close, make memories that last, and enjoy every moment of this holiday season.”

May his love give us all the strength, hope and courage we all need to carry on. From our family to yours. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!”

He revealed why and said: “I don’t know if it feels organic. Those types of holiday specials that we did in the past, they don’t really work these days for some reason,” per People.

But the marketplace has become a lot different with the million channels to choose from — back then you had three networks, period.”
Nothing beats nostalgia during the holidays and Donny noted: “They don’t make those shows anymore. Those were so pristine. And they’ve tried, but they can’t replicate it for some reason. Even the Donny & Marie Christmas Show or the Osmond Family Christmas shows, there’s something magical about that. When I look back … it was a different time. It’s nostalgic.”
