Lily Collins is celebrating her first Christmas as a mom!

On Thursday, Dec. 25, the Emily in Paris actress, 36, gave her fans a glimpse at her first Christmas with her daughter Tove, 10 months.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Collins wrote that she and her husband, Charlie McDowell, were celebrating "our lil Tove's first Christmas and we're feeling all the magic of the holidays."

"Soaking in these moments in every way," she continued in the caption. "Wishing you and yours the merriest Christmas and happiest holiday season..."

In her post, Collins shared several photos of baby Tove enjoying some new toys as she dons some Christmassy pajamas, some festive decor in Collins' home, a picture of the actress and her film director director husband sharing a kiss in the snow, and Tove posing for a selfie with her mom and dad (with a heart emoji covering her face for some privacy).

Collins and McDowell shared on social media on Jan. 31 that they had welcomed their baby via surrogate.

“Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell,” Collins wrote in a joint Instagram announcement at the time.

The new mom also shared a photo of the baby girl, lying bundled in a bassinet. A monogrammed blanket with her name written in gold was draped over the cradle.

“Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again,” the caption continued.

Throughout the year, Collins gave her Instagram followers glimpses into her life as a new mom. In May, the doting mom celebrated her first Mother's Day and shared a sweet tribute to her bundle of joy on Instagram to mark the special day.

"My first Mother’s Day," Collins captioned a photo of her cradling Tove in a sling. "No words can describe this new journey, this new life. I love you with all of my heart Tove, with all of the parts of it that have grown deeper since the day you were born and all of those I never even knew existed."

The actress continued to describe how motherhood has changed her life.

"You have expanded my world, broadened my horizons, and widened my smile more than I knew was possible," the British-American star added. "And to think, it’s only the beginning. I couldn’t be more grateful or honored to be your mum…"

In October, Collins also revealed that her Emily in Paris co-star Ashley Park gifted Tove a handmade present. Collins wrote in text over the Instagram Stories picture that the toy is her 8-month-old's "favorite snuggly."

“Tove’s favorite snuggly made by Auntie @ashleyparklady always comes with us, 🥹🐝,” she wrote in text over the photo.
