Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez Celebrate 'Hummingbird'-Themed Christmas With 'Blended' Family

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez celebrated their first Christmas as a married couple with a "perfect theme" inspired by the hummingbird, "the messenger of love."

The 53-year-old "Marry Me" star revealed in her latest "On The JLo Newsletter" update Monday that this year's Christmas theme and style centered on the native American bird.

"I like to create a theme for every holiday," Lopez began. "To me, hummingbirds are messengers of love. They're very agile—can fly forward, backward, and up and down. They're also the fastest bird but they always have time to stop, eat something sweet and smell the roses. I identify with them, but more than anything, whenever I see one, I feel like it's a sign from God that everything is going to be OK."

"So, I decided this year that the hummingbird would be a perfect theme. We have blended families, doubled the fun, doubled the love, doubled the presents, and triple the chaos!!" she added, revealing that she also wrote a song titled "Hummingbird" for her upcoming album, "This is Me...Now."

In the newsletter, the singer shared photos of their holiday celebrations, including a heavily decorated Christmas tree filled with teal blue ornaments and silver and gold hummingbirds. The snaps also showed Lopez sporting a teal long-sleeved dress paired with red high heels.

Last week, Lopez and her husband, Affleck, 50, had a star-studded bash ahead of the annual festive holiday at their Los Angeles home. At that time, the former was seen wearing a silk floor-length gown, which she admitted was also inspired by the native bird.

"I also picked hummingbird colors for my holiday party dress this year. It's a Gucci dress that I've had in my closet which I bought a year ago and I've been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear [it]. I thought it was perfect for our Hummingbird Christmas Party," she wrote in the newsletter.

The dress highlighted different hues of silver, teal and green with puff sleeves that went all the way to her wrists. It also had a high neckline. The actress accessorized with silver drop earrings.

For this holiday season, the JLo Beauty founder wanted to go all out for her first Christmas with Affleck. They first tied the knot in a surprise wedding in Las Vegas in July, along with their five children — Lopez's 14-year-old twins Max and Emme, whom she shares with Marc Anthony, and Affleck's children with Jennifer Garner, 17-year-old Violet, 13-year-old Seraphina and 10-year-old Samuel.

"For the past 8 years, we've been doing a Christmas Edition Taco Tuesday, where we get together and dress up and sing Christmas carols," Lopez shared. "This was the first time in a long time we were able to get together with people that we haven't seen in forever," adding that family, friends, colleagues, and people they've known for over the years were invited to the holiday bash.

The newlyweds hosted a pre-Christmas party ahead of the holidays and invited several A-List celebrities, including Billie Eilish, Kim Kardashian, Doja Cat, Eric André, and many more, Entertainment Tonight reported.

Affleck and Lopez decorated their home with a festive light display and prepared a buffet of party snacks and booze. To kick off the party, the "Jenny From The Block Singer" performed her rendition of John Legend's "By Christmas Eve," where she was joined by the "Argo" director.
