Julianne Hough Poses in Front of a Christmas Tree in a Teeny Bikini for Festive Holiday Photos

Julianne Hough is showing how she celebrates Christmas this year. On Tuesday, December 23, the 37-year-old Dancing with the Stars co-host shared several Instagram photos giving fans a glimpse of her “Christmas at home.”

Adding a red heart emoji to her caption, the professional dancer kicked off her Instagram carousel with a solo photo of herself posing in a tiny bikini in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree inside her living room. In the festive shot, Hough arched her back while modeling in front of the holiday tree, surrounded by wrapped gifts. Through floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a puppy and a pool area could be seen in her backyard.

The same dog made another appearance in the second slide, where a fully clothed Julianne smiled while holding a drink in her hand beside the beloved canine. Other photos in the roundup showed the entertainer lounging by the pool and even sitting inside a large gift bag near the Christmas tree—playfully suggesting she might be a present herself.

Hough’s mother, Marriann Hough, was featured in a couple of the pictures as well. In one, Julianne rested her head in her mother’s lap, and in another, Marriann appeared alongside her “high school sweetheart Doug” in front of a Christmas tree. Julianne shared this detail on her Instagram Stories, writing, “I just love LOVE,” in a follow-up slide.

The Safe Haven actress also gave fans a peek into her recent travels on Instagram Stories on Wednesday, December 23. She documented spending time with loved ones in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, for the holidays.

After a group workout session, Julianne shared both a photo and a video of herself walking along a fallen tree branch in a sunny wooded area. Wearing a bikini and a straw hat, she carefully balanced to avoid falling into the ditch below. The person filming could be heard laughing as Julianne successfully made it across the large branch.

Following her time outdoors, Julianne enjoyed a clay-making class with a view. Rolling pins, clay, and other materials were spread out on a table in an open-air deck area overlooking the water, providing a serene and creative setting for the activity.
