"We just make sure we're all together," he added, demonstrating with an adorable photo of the family of five clad in PJs and piled into one bed together.
The Access Hollywood host said that in addition to the traditional turkey, his family also enjoys Italian and Mexican cuisine on Thanksgiving, as well as lots of "good drinks" and "good movies."
"And relax," Courtney, 41, added. "We're in sweats. We don't get dressed up."
The night before Thanksgiving, Courtney revealed that the Lopez family got into the Christmas spirit early by attending one of Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas One and All! shows.
Courtney shared photos of herself, Lopez, Dominic and Gia all bundled up to watch the outdoor concert, as well as a video of each kid sharing what song they were most excited to hear.

For Lopez, family is everything. Over the summer, the TV personality shared a Reel to his Instagram that showcased two of his two kids joining him at the premiere of Barbie.
In the video, Lopez poses with Dominic and Gia, who wore a Barbie-pink two-piece outfit to match the occasion, and walked around a life-size Barbie Dreamhouse.
"Tonight we're livin' in Barbie world," he captioned the Reel.
