Jenny McCarthy embraced her glamour while offering fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse into a holiday tradition she shares with husband Donnie Wahlberg. The television personality and actress appeared alongside Wahlberg in a festive Christmas card photoshoot created for Formless Beauty, featuring a playful action-figure-inspired theme. To complement the campaign, the couple invited their social media audience into the making of the shoot, where both posed in coordinated red swimwear that highlighted their toned physiques.

Married since 2014, McCarthy and Wahlberg have turned their annual holiday card into a creative ritual that blends humor, style, and personal branding. Beyond the polished final images, McCarthy revealed that timing was crucial to achieving the couple’s camera-ready look. She shared that the secret to their six-pack abs was strategic scheduling. As she explained, “We always shoot it when Donnie gets off of tour, so he’s been dancing around on stage for the whole three months for his Vegas residency and is in great shape.”

The actress added a humorous note about the importance of that narrow window, joking that she planned the shoot carefully before Wahlberg transitioned back into his television role: “I have to do the shoot in that window before he turns into that donut-loving cop on ‘Boston Blue’.” The lighthearted confession offered fans insight into the balance between professional commitments and personal traditions.

Together, McCarthy and Wahlberg continue to present their relationship as playful and collaborative, using their holiday card not just as a seasonal greeting but as a creative extension of their shared life, fitness routines, and sense of humor.

The behind-the-scenes moment was shared through a joint Instagram video set to Mariah Carey’s iconic song “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” The clip began with McCarthy and Wahlberg bundled up outdoors on a snowy day, reinforcing the classic holiday mood. After Wahlberg playfully stepped toward the camera, the scene shifted to a warm studio environment where the couple revealed their coordinated red swimwear and struck confident poses.

McCarthy wore a red bikini while Wahlberg wore matching swim trunks, reinforcing the playful Palm Springs-inspired doll-box theme. The post was captioned:

“Happy Holidays,” followed by: “It’s here again! Jenny & Donnie’s annual Formless Beauty Holiday Card! This year’s Palm Springs Christmas Doll Box photo comes with all Holiday bundles! Visit Formless! Let’s go! ❤️🏖️☀️🎄🎁.”

The message directed fans to explore the brand while celebrating the couple’s festive tradition. In addition to sharing the joyful moment, McCarthy has also spoken candidly about personal health challenges. In an interview with PEOPLE, she discussed how ongoing mouth surgeries have impacted her daily life, particularly her ability to eat.

“People should actually feel a little sorry for me,” she said. “I was pretty unlucky.”

McCarthy explained that the issues began with a failed ceramic dental implant, leading to a cycle of complications.

“I’ve had nine surgeries this year, on my mouth,” she shared, adding, “I had one infection that turned into another and another, and then I had these growths show up on my eyeballs.”

Despite the difficulties, McCarthy continues to approach both her career and personal life with resilience, humor, and openness, qualities that resonate strongly with her audience.
