It's the most wonderful time of the year...for royal fans. Kate Middleton brought her kids to her holiday concert. Queen Camilla gave a sneak peak of her Christmas tree. And now, Prince Harry, 40, and Meghan Markle, 43, have shared their holiday card—and it features a photo of their two kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Today, the Sussexes (via Archewell) released their 2024 holiday card, which shows six different images from the year against a green backdrop. Obviously, the most notable pic is the one that shows Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3, running towards their parents.

Though it's been a hot minute since we've seen Harry and Meghan's kids (People points out that they last showed up in the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan), they are looking extremely grown up—and their fiery red hair is on full display.

The card itself reads, "On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Archewell Productions and Archewell Foundation, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year."

The appearance of the Sussex kids is a particular surprise, considering last year's card didn't show them at all. The 2023 card featured a snap of the royal couple happily cheering during the closing ceremony of the 2023 Invictus Games, which occurred in Düsseldorf, Germany. It read, "We wish you a very happy holiday season. Thanks for all the support in 2023!" and included a link to the Archewell Foundation impact report.

With so many appearances by Prince William and Princess Catherine's kids this year, like Princess Charlotte popping up at Wimbledon, it's great to finally get a new look at their cousins.

Happy holidays indeed!
