Priyanka Chopra Jonas has shared a rare photo of her baby daughter with husband Nick Jonas ahead of their first Christmas together.
The 40-year-old actress took to Instagram to share a glimpse with her 83 million followers of Malti getting into the Christmas spirit.
Chopra Jonas was dressed in a cosy white top and pants combo while her 10-month-old daughter was wearing a cute white onesie that was covered in colourful vegetables as they sat in front of a roaring fire. "It's beginning to look a lot like ..." was written across the screen.

Chopra Jonas uploaded a second photo to her Instagram Story, which showed her reclining on the lounge in front of a Christmas tree. The caption read simply, "It's up!"
It will be the first Christmas for the family of three? following Malti's birth in January.
The couple announced her arrival in a brief statement on each of their Instagram accounts on January 22, writing, "We are overjoyed to confirm that we have welcomed a baby via surrogate. We respectfully ask for privacy during this special time as we focus on our family."
No further details were released about the baby at the time. ?

It wasn't until four months later that the couple revealed, again via Instagram in a post marking Mother's Day, that their baby daughter had a rough start to life, spending more than 100 days in neonatal intensive care before finally going home.
"On this Mother's Day we can't help but reflect on these last few months and the rollercoaster we've been on, which we now know, so many people have also experienced," they wrote.
"After 100 plus days in the NICU, our little girl is finally home. Every family's journey is unique and requires a certain level of faith, and while ours was a challenging few months, what becomes abundantly clear, in retrospect, is how precious and perfect every moment is.
"Our next chapter begins now, and our baby is truly a badass. Let's get it MM! Mummy and Daddy love you."

The couple has shared only a handful ?of pics of their baby daughter, none of which have shown her face.
Just a day ago, ?Priyanka shared another rare photo of her and Jonas with their baby daughter, which she captioned "Home."
They have however shared a few snippets about life with their baby girl. Jonas, 30, told People in June that he has leant on his wife during the early months of parenthood, and described her as "a rock."
"I'm grateful to have a teammate in Pri," he said.
He also told Travel + Leisure just this week that travelling with a baby was a different kind of holiday experience.
"I mean, travel is definitely different now," he said. "I think part of that is, you know, just the amount of stuff you need. It's pretty funny. But also the wonder of looking for places you've been to a million times but seeing it through different eyes, right? It's really special. It has been a pretty amazing experience for us."
