Hey there, friends! Let me tell you, Kelly Ripa is truly on another level when it comes to creativity. This year, she decided to put a unique twist on the traditional Christmas card. Instead of just sending out one picture of her family, she created a two-sided masterpiece. One side features the Consuelos family, her real-life brood with Mark Consuelos. But here's the fun part—on the flip side? You guessed it! The Lodge family from Riverdale, where Mark plays the dashing husband and dad. Talk about thinking outside the box!
A Holiday Card That’s Twice as Nice
So, what exactly did this clever card look like? Well, on the Riverdale side, we’ve got Mark posing with Marisol Nichols (his TV wife) and Camila Mendes (his TV daughter). They all look absolutely adorable in their holiday outfits, and the caption reads, "Happy Holidays. From Our Family To Yours (No Actual Wives Or Children Were Used For This Photo)." Now, that’s a line that made me chuckle! And when you flip it over, you’re greeted by the real-life Consuelos family—Mark, Kelly, and their three beautiful kids, Michael, Lola, and Joaquin. The caption on this side says, "Love, The Consuelos’ (Actual Family) Mark, Kelly, Michael, Lola, & Joaquin." Talk about a clever way to bring both worlds together!
Mark Consuelos’ Hilarious Take on the Card
Mark, who’s always full of charm and humor, shared the card on Instagram with a caption that sums up the whole situation perfectly. He wrote, "My poor wife has resorted to using my TV family as our holiday card. Personally… I think it’s her best work." How’s that for supporting your partner’s creativity? Kelly, not to be outdone, shared the same post with her own take: "Tired of fighting with the kids over the holiday card photo? Problem solved! Thanks @camimendes @marisolnichols @instasuelos (swipe to see actual family and don’t forget to read the fine print!)." It’s clear that both of them are having a blast with this whole thing.

The Fans Are Loving It
And let’s not forget the fans! Their reactions have been absolutely hilarious and heartwarming. One commenter said, "I am dying…best way to start a day…to see a post like this…you are so funny…." Another added, "All your kids look like you even your TV daughter." There’s even someone who chimed in with, "Hysterical!!😂 Good one Kelly👍🏼😁👍🏼Merry Christmas to all your families!!🎄🎄⭐️⭐️✌🏼." It’s clear that Kelly and Mark’s sense of humor is resonating with their audience in the best possible way.
Of course, Kelly’s followers couldn’t help but notice how stunning her family looks in every picture. One fan wrote, "Do you guys ever take a bad picture? I don’t know if it’s possible. Gorgeous!" Another added, "Such a gorgeous crew!!! Cannot believe how stunning Lola is and so grown up." It’s amazing how their family’s good looks never fail to impress.
Could This Be the Start of Something New?
Now, here’s an interesting thought: with Kelly recently being cast as Mark’s character’s mistress, Mrs. Mulwray, on Riverdale, maybe she should have posed with the TV family too! It would’ve been the ultimate crossover moment, wouldn’t you agree? Whether or not that happens, it’s clear that Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are all about embracing their dual lives—both on and off-screen. And honestly, we couldn’t be happier about it!
