The holidays tend to bring families together.

And that was mostly true for The Bachelorette season 12 lovebirds Joelle 'JoJo' Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers as they enjoyed a holiday vacation with the former football player's family.

Though estranged brother Aaron Rodgers was noticeably missing, the soon-to-be newlyweds hit the road with Rodgers' parents, older brother Luke Rodgers, and his girlfriend Airelle Synder, en route to Georgia for a snowy getaway.

On Saturday, JoJo took to Snapchat to share a photo with Jordan's family and captioned the sweet post: 'Family road trip.'

And Luke, 34, posted a photo of the sextet grabbing pizza and beer - all beaming happily - before they made their way to an ice skating rink.

Once they reached the icy destination, Jordan admitted on Snapchat that he's never tried the sport before.

'I've never been ice skating!' he confessed, a mixture of excitement and fear in his voice.

'Jordan, you're gonna love it,' his mother Darla can be heard comforting him in the Snap.

'This is gonna be so funny, I can't wait,' said his fiancee with a huge smile on her face.

On the way to the rink, the group stopped at The Grind Coffee Shop in Georgia.

The owners of the cafe wrote about the reality couple's short visit: 'JoJo and Jordan stopped by for coffee with their family. Such sweet people. They are welcome back anytime.'

Noticeably absent from the adorable vacation was Aaron Rodgers, the middle Rodger brother and NFL star.

During an episode of The Bachelorette, Jordan confessed to JoJo that he doesn't really have a relationship with his older brother.

'It’s just kind of the way he chose to do life and I chose to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother. Yeah, it’s not ideal,' he said on the episode that aired in July.

According to Terez Owens, the unfortunate rift between Aaron and his family is in part due to his girlfriend, Olivia Munn, who began to speak about her sex life with the football hunk in public.

Meanwhile, JoJo and Jordan prepare for married life as they plan their wedding - and JoJo has said she's already thinking of having babies.

'I keep envisioning babies,' the brunette beauty confessed to People, 'I'm like, "Wait, JoJo, pump the brakes! Do this in the right order.

Though no date has been announced as of yet, both have hinted the ceremony will take place 'sometime next year.'
