Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' Kids Return Home for the Holidays — and Make a Rare TV Appearance

"And before you ask...Joaquin is in Michigan," Ripa said of her younger son

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' kids are making sweet memories while home for the holidays.

On Tuesday's episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the co-hosts and real-life couple were joined by two of their three kids — daughter Lola, 22, and son Michael, 26 — as they baked gingerbread cookies to celebrate the holiday season.

"Well, well, well, the chickens are back in the coop for the holidays. Michael and Lola are here with a fun, festive holiday recipe for the Consuelos gingerbread cookies. So please welcome Lola and Michael Consuelos," the proud mom began.

"Alright, let's just some updates. What are you guys up to?" Consuelos, 52, asked his older son.

"It's been great. I'm living in Brooklyn. Been producing for the Real Housewives. About two years of that now, so — I'm still sane!" Michael joked.

"Very good. Lola? How are you enjoying living abroad?" Ripa, 53, asked her daughter.

"London is amazing. Making music. Everyone please stream my songs. Tell your children to as well!" Lola shared.

The Consuelos family then began making the gingerbread cookies, revealing that they chose the flavor because it's "Michael's favorite."

Ripa later posted a photo of her family on Instagram, sharing an update on son Joaquin, who couldn't make it to the family gathering.

"A Christmas cookie miracle brought to you by Michael and Lola. And before you ask...Joaquin is in Michigan," the mom of three wrote in her caption, referring to son Joaquin, 20.

Earlier this month, Ripa and Consuelos shared their 2023 holiday card in a joint post on Instagram.

Last year's card featured the couple and their three kids as they posed in front of purple flowers, writing "Happy Holidays" across the bottom.

This year's card was a little different as Ripa and Consuelos chose a photo solely featuring the couple. Surrounded by a red bow, the picture rests on a white background, above their holiday message.

"Happy Holidays," they wrote. "Love the Empty Nesters," poking fun at the fact that all three of their kids have moved out of their house.
