“I’m most looking forward to spending time with my kids and my family coming out from the East Coast,” she told the outlet. “The holidays are such a special time for us and they’ve always been since I was a little girl. And I really look forward to those moments when I can be with my sisters and just relax and have fun and create new memories.”
“We don’t get to see each other all year, so we kind of catch up on what everybody’s doing and how life is,” Lopez added. “It’s just a beautiful time. I really enjoy it.”
Lopez also loves getting in the festive spirit.
“I love all of the decorations and the hot chocolate and the music and the food, and I’m one of those people who really tries to make it out of a storybook for my kids with all of those things,” she said. “I’m a sucker for the holidays.”
