Inside James Van Der Beek's quarantine with his 5 kids

WATCH: Take it from James Van Der Beek: Your weirdness will be your greatest superpower

For many, thinking of the holidays gives them the warm fuzzy feeling that we're sorely needing nowadays. Some have even re-strung their Christmas lights to feel it.

But for James Van Der Beek and his family, they're wearing that warm fuzzy feeling, in the form of matching Christmas pajamas.

"Have officially entered the Wear-Christmas-Pajamas-And-Project-Movies-On-The-Dining-Room-Wall phase of the #Quarantine," Van Der Beek posted to Instagram, captioning the cozy snap of his family.

"#StayHome and stream @pixaronward btw… either I’ve gone stir crazy or it’s my new favorite #Pixar movie," the doting dad said of the movie "Onward," before giving a shout-out to its voice stars Tom Holland and Chris Pratt.

Van Der Beek has been spending some quality time social distancing with his wife Kimberly Brook and their five children -- Olivia, 9, Joshua, 7, Annabel, 6, Emilia, 4, and 21-month-old Gwendolyn.

He recently captured one moment with his youngest on Instagram, calling right now "the perfect excuse to make other connections."

Happy birthday to my other queen... my little magical healer child, who can play by herself for hours, improvise a story that never ends, and somehow energetically feel like everybody’s grandma - on her fourth birthday. You’re a deep little soul, kid... I love watching you watch the world, and am SO grateful I get to be a part of your universe. #LongLiveTheQueen 💜

Happy birthday to my Queen Goddess 👑. Anybody who knows her knows how lucky I am to be married to @vanderkimberly Her wisdom, heart, vulnerability and magic are things she shares with the world, along with her wicked sense of humor, fire, and her own special brand of magic. But what people don’t see is just how hard she works. How determined she is to grow, and how unwilling she is to accept less than the fullest, truest, most transformative reality out of any person, place or situation she comes across. She is perhaps the most authentic person I know. I love you babe, and I am in awe of you. You are truly a gift to this planet, and I could not be happier to be holed up with you and all the little babies we made, on your birthday. Here’s to a year of health, love, happiness and manifestation! 🥂😍🥳

Take care of each other out there... whether that means staying put, or reaching out digitally to those who could use some company, or sharing what you’ve got, or taking only what you need. We’re all in this together. - - #covid_19 #quarantine #kindness #sharingiscaring
