Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof, two actors, released a lovely family photo of their modest family of four and two pets during the holidays, thus sharing the season’s good mood and making the past linger with their first fans. The image displays the entire family along with the two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels in identical pajamas, enveloped by the soft Jellycat toys, and they are all eagerly awaiting the new year.

The actress, who is by the audience closely related to her roles as Willow Rosenberg in ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and Lily Aldrin in ‘How I Met Your Mother’, posted this touching family picture just before the Christmas holidays. She sent her wishes of love, laughter, and a touch of magic during the holidays to everyone and then posed a question to her audience: “What is your greatest anticipation in 2026?”

The picture could not be any more representative of the festive season. Family members were wearing matching plaid sleepwear. One of the people commenting expressed his happiness and at the same time made a very good coincidence with the writer of the comment saying ‘My family has the same pajamas so I feel cool now. Merry Christmas!!’ The very type of sharing that goes on in the posts is one of the reasons why they appear to be a celebrity’s curated feed, and through them, we feel like we are in our friends’ living rooms.

The unwritten rule that connects them to their mythical on-screen collaboration when it comes to Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof is the case every time. The combination of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and ‘Angel’ characters of Willow and Wesley Wyndam-Pryce is what they are, forever, for a certain generation of viewers. The relationship between the actors and the audience was very close in the comments. ‘It always makes me smile to see Willow and Wesley happy together,’ a user wrote, stating the feeling of many. Another remark, which simply said, ‘I will never not see Willow and Wesley,’ pointed out that these characters are still part of pop culture history.

The humorous comment, ‘Respectfully, Wesley can still get it’ was a nod to Denisof’s charm that transcends time. Their work having such a strong impact is shown by the fact that even after several years, the audience still feels very much connected and reacts to the characters so positively and warmly.

Although nostalgia was still in the air, the cute details in the photo stirred up many discussions. The couple’s two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were the immediate stars. ‘You have Cavaliers!?!?!?! Omgg omg!!! Cute babies,’ one follower seems very excited. The dogs’ festive Jellycat toys also drew attention, and one person confirmed that: ‘Omg those are jellycats!! I love them!’

Hannigan’s question about what was going to be so exciting in 2026 mirrored the viewers’ hopes and dreams. Responses ranged from very personal and intimate life-altering events to peace on earth. One mother told her enthusiasm, ‘I look most forward to my daughter turning 1 in April.’ Another person examined their situation more critically and expressed, ‘I’m looking forward to hopefully brighter days ahead and less stress. Happy holidays!’ A user focused on personal development said he was looking forward ‘to continuing to build significant connections, which in turn will help me to become a better human being.’

Familial resemblance also caused some humorous comments. One referred to the daughter: ‘Your daughter next to your husband looks more like you than you look like you.’ It was a fun and witty way to recognize the strong genetic ties existing in the beautiful picture. This adorable moment with her mini-me was a highlight.

In today’s online world where the general mood is often one of drama and showy perfection, the holiday post of Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof was a very human connection moment. It was a mix of family love, a little bit of nostalgia from the fans, and a shared excitement for a new start. Their picture is not just a holiday greeting, but also a reminder of the very simple, pleasant, and constant things—family, pets, and a bit of matching plaid—that for many people symbolize the Christmas spirit. Hannigan recently showed her support for Dancing with the Stars pro Jan with a clever pun, and she also joined Joey Lawrence for the official Dancing with the Stars podcast.
