The 66-year-old actor posted a sweet video from his home's living room, featuring his daughter Ella Bleu, 20, and son Benjamin, 10, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

In the clip, Travolta can be heard saying "Say merry Christmas, Ella," who waves at the camera. He then pans over to his son who wishes viewers a Merry Christmas.

"Merry Christmas from the Travolta family!" the actor wrote alongside the clip.

The last time Travolta posted to Instagram was in November, for Thanksgiving, when he thanked his fans for their support after his wife's death.

"I want to take this moment to thank each and every one of you for supporting me in such an incredible way this year," he said, appearing emotional as he addressed people in his video. "Happy Thanksgiving and always love."
