Let’s talk about some heartwarming family moments! Marie Osmond is beaming with pride over her grandchildren, and for good reason. The beloved entertainer and Donny & Marie alum recently shared a truly special video her grandkids made for their grandpa, Steve Craig. This wasn’t just any video—it was a heartfelt gesture because the family couldn’t be together during the holiday season.
Marie, now 61, posted the clip on Instagram back in January, and it’s filled with so much love. “That video was written and produced by our precious children and absolutely made our Christmas!” she wrote in the caption. She went on to explain how the family chose to create this video as a way to express their love for her husband, Steve. “And did it ever touch his heart … and mine!” Marie added, showing just how much this simple act meant to everyone involved.

Marie’s Grandchildren Steal the Show
In the clip that Marie shared, which she mentioned is only the beginning part of the full recording, her grandchildren Rocket Jade, 5, Maxwell, 2, and Maude, 20 months, take center stage. Marie joked about their future in acting, saying, “I guess my two granddaughters Rocket and Maude and my grandson Maxwell are destined to become actors!” You can practically hear the pride in her voice as she talks about them.
The video gives us a peek into the family’s love for Steve, who Marie remarried in 2011 after their initial divorce in 1985. In the clip, Rocket Jade shows off her acting chops by pretending to talk on the phone with her younger sibling, Maude. “Hi Maude, would you like to help me get the cousins?” she sweetly asks. “Because I need to help us do a Christmas video for grandpa because grandpa won’t be here for Christmas. So we all wanted to join the cousins to do the video with us. You will? OK!”
Then, we see Maxwell along with his older brothers, Stephen, 7, and Christian, 5, sitting in front of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. Christian gushes about his grandpa, saying, “I like you cause you’re fun,” while Stephen adds, “I like you cause you’re always nice to us.” It’s moments like these that remind us of the simple joys of family.
Behind the Scenes: Marie Opens Up About the Video
Just a few days before sharing this delightful video on Instagram, Marie spoke exclusively with Closer Weekly about the story behind this memorable gift. She couldn’t stop laughing as she talked about her little ones creating the touching clip all on their own. “It’s so funny to watch them create it,” she told the magazine. “It’s like a movie … and my little Rocket, she’s an actress. She just created her own dialogue. It’s all really sweet, and they talk about how much they love [Steve].”
Clearly, the performing arts run in the family, but Marie isn’t too eager for her grandchildren to follow in her footsteps. When asked about whether Rocket Jade or any of her other grandkids, including Wolf, 18 months, and Mabel, 5 months, might pursue careers as child stars, Marie was thoughtful. “I hope not. Only because if they do it, I hope it’s later … once they’ve established [themselves],” she explained to Closer. “I think it’s really hard to make the transition from child to adult. I think the world is a tough world right now unless you really know who you are.”
