Is Nick Jonas’ 3-Year-Old Daughter Making Her Onscreen Debut in A Very Jonas Christmas Movie?
Holiday surprise: Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ 3-year-old daughter Malti makes her on-screen debut with a final-scene cameo in A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, released November 14.
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Jonas just let their 3-year-old daughter Malti Marie sneak into the family business — in the sweetest, blink-and-you-miss-it way. The little one makes her first-ever on-screen appearance at the very end of 'A Very Jonas Christmas Movie,' which hit Disney+ on November 14. It is tiny, it is wholesome, and yes, everyone is talking about it.
The cameo (and why fans are melting)
Malti pops up in the final scene with her parents. You do not see her face — her back is to the camera — but the shot is pure cozy holiday energy: Nick hugging Priyanka, Malti tucked safely between them in a cute black outfit and a shiny silver headband. It is the first time the couple has included their daughter in a film, and even though the moment is brief, it is a big first for the Jonas-Chopra crew.
So what is 'A Very Jonas Christmas Movie' exactly?
It is a musical comedy built around the three Jonas Brothers playing, well, themselves. The setup: after a long world tour wraps in London just days before Christmas, the guys are wiped and itching to get home to New York for family time. That family piece is literal — Priyanka Chopra and Danielle Jonas both appear in the movie, and their kids are in the mix too.
Before anyone gets on a plane, Joe decides he needs one last night out. Kevin and Nick vote for sleep. Joe goes solo, runs into the actual Santa Claus, and gets hit with a playful curse designed to nudge the brothers back to being, you know, brothers. Cue a chaotic trip home full of musical bits, cameos, and the kind of sentimental wrap-up you expect from a Christmas movie about pop stars who are also related.
The cast is stacked beyond the core trio. Chloe Bennet, Randall Park, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, and Billie Lourd are along for the ride, with additional drop-ins from Andrea Martin, Laverne Cox, and Andrew Barth Feldman. It is very much a winky, self-aware holiday special that ends on the expected notes: family, honesty, togetherness.

The family tour life (and Halloween) warm-up
If you have been keeping up, Malti has been out and about with her parents lately — just not on film until now. Back in October, Priyanka brought Malti to Nick's Florida tour stop and shared a batch of moments on Instagram. One clip had the brothers singing "Happy Birthday" to Kevin's daughter Valentina while Danielle cheered from the side of the stage. A lot of the photos focused on Malti: high-fiving a kid holding a sign that read "First show ever!", watching from the steps near the stage, and wearing pink ear protection like a pro.
Fast-forward a bit and the family posted Halloween shots too — Malti in a white dress, fully embracing the booing vibe — and the comments filled up with love and well wishes around the Day of the Dead.
Bottom line
If you are curious to catch Malti's first on-screen moment — or you are in the mood for a glossy, brotherly, Santa-cursed holiday hang — 'A Very Jonas Christmas Movie' is streaming now on Disney+.
