Wearing a plunging tank top and faded jeans, the Maid in Manhattan star added a touch of holiday flair with a stylish snow-white overcoat.
She kept it low key with her auburn locks in a high bun and designer sunglasses.
Flanked by her beaming crew, including her child Emme, JLo floated through the chic shopping district, clearly in good spirits as they smiled and laughed.
This festive outing is coming soon news that she and Ben reportedly don’t plan to cut ties completely after their divorce is finalized.

A source said Page six Tuesday that the actress and the actor and filmmaker hope to remain “connected” after their split is made official.
“They have every intention of staying in each other’s lives despite not being in a romantic relationship,” the insider claimed.
New insights into Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s ongoing dynamic come nearly four months after Lopez filed for divorce on August 20 — coincidentally the couple’s second anniversary.
Although their marriage ended, their children continue to play a central role in maintaining the bond between the exes.
A source revealed that they “communicate when it comes to their children,” with both Lopez and Affleck’s children often involved in family events.
Affleck shares three children with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner – Violet, 18; Fin, 15; and Samuel, 12 – while Lopez’s children, Emme and Emme, also play a key role in the family interactions.
Meanwhile, Ben was recently spotted at Garner’s house. The two finalized their divorce in 2018 after 13 years of marriage.
Sources told DailyMail.com that Garner “no longer wishes to have contact” with Lopez following the end of her marriage to Affleck.

Insiders previously told DailyMail.com she felt like a “pawn” after acting as Ben and Jennifer’s “marriage counselor” amid the breakdown of the former couple’s two-year marriage.
“Jen no longer wants to communicate with JLo unless it has to do with the kids,” the source recently explained.
“Her friends think she shouldn’t have let herself get so involved in helping JLo fix her marriage to Ben.”
The insider added, “Especially considering how Jen felt towards JLo at times during their own wedding. Jen is too nice and really wanted to help, so she tried.”
Violet recently posed for a selfie with Lopez’s sister, Lynda, who was visiting her at Yale — which left both Garner and Affleck “confused.”
The Deadpool & Wolverine actress found the photo ‘strange’, but does not want to say anything negative about the singer or her sister.
“It felt strange seeing Jen get so close to Violet and then Lynda showing up at Violet’s school. Jen’s loyalty lies with her children’s father – Ben – and their children. Because they love JLo.”
The insider added, “But Jen would never badmouth her or speak negatively about her. Everyone knows that if JLo wanted to spend time with her kids besides Violet, it would have to go through Jen.
Garner recently sparked engagement rumors with her boyfriend, John Miller.
While driving in Los Angeles, the actress was seen wearing a band on her ring finger.
