Vanessa Hudgens took to social media on Monday to share her first Christmas with new husband Cole Tucker.
The 35-year-old actress posted a cute photo of her and pro baseball player Cole, 27, smiling in a selfie on a golf course.
‘Merry Christmas from us golf obsessed newlyweds to you and yours,’ Vanessa wrote as a caption for her roughly 51.3 million followers along with a Christmas tree emoji.
Cole beamed while wearing a bucket hat and dark shirt and Vanessa flashed her dazzling smile while wearing a hat, white sleeveless top and golfing gloves.
The picturesque golf course featured oceans views and palms trees in the background.

Vanessa and Cole just got married on December 2 in Tulum, Mexico.
The actress later opened up about the nuptials while chatting with Vogue.
Vanessa, who rose to fame starring in High School Musical, admitted that scouting the wedding location was no easy feat.
‘The planning process was definitely overwhelming,’ the performer shared with the magazine.
‘I knew I’d never been to a wedding that I’ve wanted my own wedding to be like, so I had to think out of the box. Finding a venue was the hardest part.’
The star added, ‘I knew I didn’t want to do it at a beach, at a ballroom, or at a barn —these were all things I didn’t want. Instead, I wanted to be surrounded by nature, greenery, and foliage.’
And she got just that after booking the occasion in the Mayan jungle.
Thinking of the Azulik Hotel, which she had been following on Instagram, Vanessa had the idea to tie the knot in the Yucatán.

She recalled, ‘I told Cole, “Maybe we could go here on our honeymoon…we would get such great pictures. Wait—maybe we could get married here?!”
‘I also knew I wanted to get married somewhere warm, and our window for getting married was so small because Cole’s [baseball] season is very long. I felt like “Mexico it is!” I also wanted somewhere very spiritual.’
The Spring Breakers star continued: ‘At the end of this very long tour, I was like “Where would we have our ceremony?” and they were like “Oh, that would be at our museum” and they said, “It’s 45 minutes into the jungle.” I was thinking, “Okay, that sounds aggressive, but I guess I’ll give it a try.”‘
But Vanessa added, ‘A lot of it was down an unpaved dirt road, and I proceeded to think, “There’s no way in hell we’ll be able to have our wedding here—how are we going to get our entire party out here down this bumpy dirt road?”‘
Her apprehension dissipated once she laid eyes on the museum for the first time.
