The tot was born just days before Mollie's father Stephen died of a brain tumour.
During a difficult few months for the King clan, new mum Mollie has opened up on how "grateful" she feels.
She shared a selection of Instagram images, which kicked off with her and Stuart snuggled up with their tot and Mollie's dog, Alfie.
More snaps captured Mollie's nephews excitedly opening their gifts on Christmas Day before they jumped around in front of a Christmas movie.

Little Alfie was also given his own stocking before Molly captured herself breastfeeding her tot.
In her caption, the Radio 1 DJ wrote: "This year, more than ever, I’ve been so grateful to be surrounded by my family at Christmas time ❤️
"For me it’s been mixed emotions heading up to Christmas Day as I’ve feared all of us sitting down for lunch and having one chair less without our Pops at the table.
"I know I’m not the only one who will be missing a loved one this Christmas and my heart goes out to anyone who’s also going through this.

"I’ve kept reminding myself how lucky I am to be surrounded by so many of the people I love and without a doubt the constant chatter from the little ones, seeing Annabella laugh for the first time, countryside walks and Home Alone on repeat made sure we all created more special memories, and most importantly, that my little girl’s Christmas was magical, just as it should be 💫
"Thank you Mum for getting us all together. Sending so much love to anyone else going through this at this time xx"
Last month, Mollie posted a series of snaps of her and her dad to her Instagram as she revealed the devastating news.
She went onto reveal that her dad met her baby daughter Annabella, who she gave birth to last week.
Mollie revealed: "You have always been there for us with every step we’ve taken and you even held on a few extra days to meet baby Annabella. You gave us your everything. You will be in our hearts and our memories every single day ❤️."
