Joanna Gaines is officially in the holiday spirit—and she’s bringing her family along for the fun.

On Monday, December 16, the Magnolia founder shared a time-lapsed Instagram video featuring a lineup of festive treats she’s whipping up this season. Fans of her Magnolia Table Vol. 2 cookbook or Magnolia.com might recognize some of the goodies: peppermint bark, peanut clusters, white chocolate peanut butter crackers, cherry mashers and peanut butter balls. But the real highlight? A rare glimpse of the Fixer Upper star's entire family in action.

While Joanna takes center stage in most of the video, her husband Chip Gaines and their five children—Drake, 19, Ella, 18, Duke, 16, Emmie, 14, and Crew, 6—make sweet cameos throughout the clip. Whether they’re stirring, assembling or simply popping in frame, the Gaines family turns baking into a true team effort. And, keeping with the holiday vibe, the video is set to the cheery tune of “We Are Santa’s Elves” from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer soundtrack.

Fans were thrilled to see Joanna’s crew join in on the holiday fun. “Thank you for showing us your kids a little bit!!” one person commented. Another added, “Joanna is a constant at the work table while the family helpers orbit. What fun to bake together!” One fan even dubbed their setup an “A+ assembly line.”

This family baking session marks a rare appearance from all seven members of the Gaines family. The last time fans caught a full family moment was back in August, when Joanna shared highlights from their vacation to St. Lucia. The recap featured Crew snorkeling with his big brother, family jungle hikes and a sweet beachside selfie of Joanna and Chip.

Here’s hoping for more family-filled holiday moments from the Gaines crew.
