Holly Willoughby was spotted on a rare family outing to Winter Wonderland in London's Hyde Park last night.
The mum-of-three - who shares kids Harry, 15, Belle, 13, and 10-year-old Chester with TV producer husband Dan Baldwin - tried to keep a low profile dressed all in black with a cosy puffer jacket on. Her long blonde hair was scraped back into a ponytail and she wore a baseball cap which covered her face for the pre-Christmas trip.
Not only did she brave the cold, she proved she's a 'cool mum' by getting on some of the scary rides with her brood. In one snap she was seen screaming her head off on a rollercoaster. She was also seen cuddling up to daughter Belle as they went through a haunted house.
And after a couple of hard years for Holly, including leaving This Morning, her fallout with Phillip Schofield and a terrifying plot to kidnap and murder her - which saw a man jailed for life - she must be looking forward to a bit of normality this festive season.

n.c)It comes as Holly made a return to primetime TV after months out of the spotlight. She is now presenting rebooted game show You Bet! alongside her Dancing on Ice co-host and TV pal Stephen Mulhern.
The classic show, which first aired in 1988, was originally hosted by the legendary Bruce Forsyth. During the '90s, Matthew Kelly and Darren Day also presented the show, which features ordinary people taking on incredible challenges to win a big cash prize.
ITV’s reboot sees Holly and Stephen as hosts, accompanied by Alison Hammond, Rob Beckett, Harry Redknapp and Rosie Ramsay, who along with the audience gamble on the outcomes of the whacky challenges. They filmed two special episodes, with the first being screened on Saturday December 7 before the I'm a Celebrity semi-final.
Now a full series is planned and ITV have put a call out for contestants. A casting call said: "Are you so skilled at your job you could turn it into a crazy 'You Bet! ' challenge? Could your incredible speed, strength, memory, or even your sense of smell, taste or hearing help you win big?
"No matter how wild or impossible it seems; we want to hear all about the impressive skill you have to offer. So if you think you can turn it into a 'You Bet! ' challenge in a bid to take home a cash prize, apply now!"

n.c)Expressing her joy at being back on the telly, Holly said: "So excited to be part of this iconic game show with the fabulous Stephen Mulhern." While Stephen, who also presents the ITV reboot of Deal Or No Deal, said: "I loved 'You Bet!' as a kid, so I'm very excited to be hosting this with the wonderful Holly Willoughby. From the big and spectacular to the unique and unexpected, I can’t wait to see what extraordinary skills the challengers have up their sleeves."
Insiders claim that 2025 will be 'Holly's year', as she is also presenting a huge show on Netflix alongside adventurer and survival expert Bear Grylls. The 43-year-old will host Celebrity Bear Hunt, which is set in the Costan Rican jungle.
Giving fans a taste of what's to come, Netflix said: "Holly Willoughby hosts this competition show set in the Costa Rican jungle, where 12 celebrities become prey for that fearsome hunter - Bear Grylls.
A source said: "Holly can't wait for 2025 and to finally put everything behind her. It's been quite a hellish year, what with the Gavin Plumber trial and the ongoing fallout with Phil but she is starting to feel like herself again. And that's mainly down to her friends and family - they've all been so supportive and have helped her through some dark times."
