Neil Patrick Harris fans have been left stunned after the actor posted new family photos with his teenage children.

The How I Met Your Mother actor, 52, and his husband, David Burtka, became parents to twins Gideon and Harper, who are 15 years old, via surrogate in 2010.

Harris married Burtka, 50, back in 2014 after the celebrity couple first went public with their relationship all the way back in 2007.

The couple have since shared glimpses of the twins on social media as they've grown up over the years, and fans are well and truly invested in the famous family.

David even took Harper along as his plus one to the Wicked: For Good New York premiere back in November, and the father and daughter posed for sweet snaps together on the red carpet.

And now, the family have shared their 2025 Christmas card, albeit a bit late, including new family portraits of the four of them.

Harris penned on Instagram: "Now that the holidays have wrapped, wanted to share this year’s card. We kept it classic. Thanks @minted."

He showcased the front of the holiday card, which featured a photo of the family posing against a tree, alongside the words 'Good tidings and great joy' embellished in gold.

At the bottom, it read: "Happy holidays' and was signed off by 'the Burka-Harris family'.

Meanwhile, the back of the card read: "Sending you love this holiday season. May your 2026 be full of laughter, kindness and great good times."

It included an additional two snaps - one of Harper hugging Gideon from behind and another of the family laughing while smelling flowers.

Fans were left shocked by one detail in the update - just how much the twins have grown!

One Instagram user penned in the comments: "Great card! The twins - so grownup! So much joy here."

While a second questioned: "How old are the kids now? 14? 15?" and a third wrote: "Those kids are a lot bigger since they left the Carnival (was watching ASOE last night with our daughter for the 100th time and my wife pointed out the cameo none of us ever saw)."

"Beautiful! You kids have really grown wow!" agreed a fourth.

While others chimed in with: "Your kids are grown" and "Beautiful family! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

Another fan hilariously compared the front of the card to a scene from Twilight, which, to be honest, I can see - the tree and the moody poses are giving Cullen family.

"Am I the only one getting Twilight vibes from that first photo?" they wrote, while someone else agreed: "came here to say the same thing".

Another gushed: "Stop this is so cute how do we get on the mailing list."

While someone else wrote: "Such a beautiful family."
