She was seen bundled up as she headed out of Los Angeles on Christmas Day with her three children.

And Jennifer Garner and her family were seen unpacking their vehicle as they returned to LA on New Year's Day.

The 49-year-old actress and her children had been enjoying the winter weather in snowier locales during the holidays while her ex-husband Ben Affleck had stayed in Los Angeles to celebrate with his former fiancée Jennifer Lopez.

Home at last: Jennifer Garner, 49, looked cool and casual in a sweater as she returned home to Los Angeles from a wintry holiday trip with her three children on Saturday

Jennifer looked casual and comfortable in a black turtleneck sweater with a powder blue stripe over her chest.

She wore it tucked into distressed high-waisted jeans and stayed toasty with fleece-lined black suede boots. 

The 13 Going On 30 star wore her brunette locks parted down the middle and cascading down her shoulders, and she completed her look with a smart watch and thick black-frame glasses.

Her mini-me daughter Violet, 16, was seen helping her to unload their car. 

No fuss: She wore a low-key black turtleneck sweater with a powder blue stripe over her chest, plus high-waisted distressed jeans and fleece-lined black suede boots

She wore a gray shirt with a rainbow stripe and jeans, and she covered her bobbed hair with a pale pink ski cap.

Jennifer's middle daughter Seraphina, 12, wasn't pictured as they unloaded, but her nine-year-old son Samuel was seen doing his part.

He had on a white T-shirt and carried a rolled-up blue plaid shirt while he wore a backpack.

While Jennifer and her children were enjoying some snowy weather for the holidays, she shared a video that appeared to have been filmed earlier in which she nearly burned her house down after adding too much cognac to an Ina Garten recipe.

The Juno actress filmed herself making Ina's beef bourguignon stew, which she said was a regular 'family Christmas tradition.'

She decided to depart from the standard recipe for a stronger flavor with double the cognac, which is supposed to be lit on fire to burn off some of the alcohol.

However, the double serving of booze caused a fireball to erupt from the pot when she set it aflame, and the blaze nearly reached the top of the hood above her stovetop, though it subsided within seconds.

'Don't double the cognac!' she emphatically told her 11.8 million Instagram followers, adding, 'That was wild!'

Whoops! Over the holidays, Jennifer shared a video in which she nearly burned her house down after adding too much cognac to an Ina Garten recipe

A blazing miscalculation: 'Don't double the cognac!' she said emphatically as the flames nearly reached the top of the hood over the stove, though they quickly subsided

While Jen and the kids were on vacation, her ex-husband Ben Affleck stayed behind in LA to spend some quality time with his girlfriend Jennifer Lopez.

The lovebirds were spotted leaving a lunch date with her twins Max and Emme, 13, on Wednesday at the Hotel Bel-Air, which has special significance for the couple.

As the two revived their relationship earlier in 2021, Ben would allegedly drive to the hotel and drop his car off there before being picked up in Jennifer's white Cadillac Escalade and chauffeured to her LA home.

The Last Duel star recently got himself into hot water after he told Howard Stern that he feeling 'trapped' in his marriage to Jennifer let him to drink..

However, he didn't explicitly blame her, and elsewhere in the interview he was effusive about her parenting skills.
