Grease legend John captioned the adorable upload with: "My beautiful babies in my belated Christmas card 2025. Hope all is going well."
Back in November, John and Benjamin enjoyed some quality time together as they hiked up a snowy mountain in Norway.
In a video that documented their adventure, Ben could be seen wrapped up warm in a big white coat as he walked up the cliff before he stood and marvelled at the breathtaking mountain views.
John captioned the clip: "Ain't no mountain high enough for my son Ben. Love from Norway."
A couple of weeks later, the Hollywood star marked Ben's 15th birthday with a sweet tribute.
John captioned a photo of a smiley Ben stood on a rock in front of a snowy mountain with: "Happy Birthday my dear Ben! I can't believe how quickly you've grown up! I love you!"
The film star and Kelly also had son Jett, but he died at the age of 16 in January 2009 after suffering a seizure while the family were on holiday in the Bahamas.
John dec lared Jett's death as the most devastating moment of his life.
Speaking at a panel in 2014, the Pulp Fiction cast member said: "The truth is, I didn't know if I was going to make it. Life was no longer interesting to me, so it took a lot to get me better."
John - who honors Jett's memory with annual birthday tributes and through the Jett Travolta Foundation, which supports children with special needs - and his family suffered another heartbreaking loss in July 2020 when Kelly died.
The Cat in the Hat actress - who had been married to John since September 1991 - lost her two-year battle with breast cancer aged 57.
At the time of announcing Kelly's death, John said: "She fought a courageous fight with the love and support of so many. Kelly's love and life will always be remembered."
