Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson just spent their first Christmas together since being able to be public with their engagement, and they had big plans.
After a whirlwind year of doing both “The Bachelor” and “Dancing with the Stars,” Graziadei and his fiancee Anderson focused on family and new friends for their holiday celebrations.
Ahead of the Christmas holiday, the couple revealed they would spend the holiday with Anderson’s dad, “The Golden Bachelorette” alum Mark Anderson, and his new girlfriend. His new squeeze happens to be “One Tree Hill” alum Barbara Alyn Woods.
Social media posts from the extended family’s gathering suggested that the two families have already grown quite close.

During the December 20 episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, Graziadei shared the scoop on his Christmas holiday plans. He revealed, “We are going to actually spend it with Kelsey’s family and Mark’s new girlfriend as well.”
He shared that he has already had a chance to get to know Woods a bit. “Barbara’s awesome,” Graziadei said. “We’ve gotten a chance to go out to dinner with her and her family when Mark came to L.A.”
It turns out that Graziadei and Anderson spent Thanksgiving with his extended family, so they spent Christmas with hers.
After Christmas, social media posts popped up showcasing the large group’s celebration. They gathered at Faria Resorts in Branson, Missouri, and photos shared on Instagram revealed there were matching pajamas involved.
Woods’ daughter Natalyn Lind shared one photo, which Woods then reshared on her Instagram Stories, showing the group posing on a spiral staircase in their pajamas. “It’s giving hallmark Christmas movie” Lind captioned the photo.
The guys all wore navy loungewear sets and the ladies wore navy and white striped pajama sets. There were rabbit ears, laughs, a couple of dogs, some supposedly grumpy facial expressions, and some fun-natured pushing around as the photo was snapped.
In all, slightly more than a dozen family members gathered for the combined family Christmas event. As Us Weekly noted, Anderson has four other kids in addition to Kelsey Anderson. Woods has three daughters.

Additional social media posts revealed the families played games indoors, cooked, ate, and spent time outdoors playing football together, too.
One video showed “The Golden Bachelorette” star and “One Tree Hill” alum sharing a kiss, and in another, Woods teased she just wasn’t “as cool” as her beau.
A separate Instagram post on Woods’ page showed a snippet from the family football game. “When your quarterback makes you look good,” she teased in the caption, referring to the Anderson family patriarch.
Woods and Anderson debuted their romance via Instagram on October 26. They dressed as Prince Charming and Cinderella but didn’t explicitly reveal they were romantically involved.
Another Instagram post on December 17 showed the couple together in North Carolina and they wore matching Christmas sweaters. They haven’t revealed when or how they met, but they seem to be having a blast together.
