During the holiday season, there are endless opportunities for fun and festive activities.

From outings like picking out Christmas trees, looking at Christmas lights, seeing reindeer and visiting extended family to indoor traditions like baking sugar cookies, moving the Elf on the Shelf, decorating DIY ornaments and more, there are plenty of ways to stay busy and make memories.

For Maria Menounos, there is one Christmas tradition, in particular, that she is most excited to do with her family this year.

"We'll definitely take Christmas pictures in matching stuff—probably matching PJs," the TV personality shares. "I can't resist that for sure."

Her husband Keven Undergaro and daughter Athena won't be the only ones joining her in these themed photos. "The dogs will have to be in matching ones too," Menounos laughs.
