Law & Order fans must’ve been especially good this year, because they just received something wondrous in their stockings. Former Law & Order SVU costars Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay reunited this Tuesday, for a holiday selfie that’s sure to delight fans.

Meloni first shared the pic on her Instagram, with the caption “Friends at Xmas.” Shortly after, Hargitay reposted the shot, with a string of hashtags, including: “#HomeMeloni, #BenslerTogether and #TheChrisWhoStoleChristmas”

Friends at Xmas.

The two starred in the legal drama series for the first 12 seasons together, but split when Meloni left the series in 2011 due to a contract dispute. Meloni had a notable turn on HBO’s True Blood. Hargitay remained on the show, now in its 18th season. In real life however, the two have remained friends, reuniting for photos every couple of years, including just this year in March. It’s a tradition that’s sure to bring a smile to all Law & Order fans.
