Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen’s friendship has always been one of NCIS: LA’s most beloved off-screen stories — and the holidays offered another chapter. This year, their families reunited for a cozy, snow-filled celebration that blended fun, tradition, and togetherness.
Shared through Daniela’s Instagram, the video showcased everything from sledding and skiing to crocheting and quiet nights indoors. Her caption summed it up simply: cooking, cousins, grandparents, puppies, and love — lots of it.
The connection runs deep. Eric famously introduced Daniela to his brother David Paul Olsen years ago, unknowingly setting the stage for a lasting love story. Daniela and David married in 2014 and now share two children, making Eric both friend and family.
For fans, the holiday video wasn’t just festive content — it was proof that the strongest bonds from NCIS: LA didn’t end when the cameras stopped rolling.
