Jessica Alba certainly seems thankful for the sun down in Mexico ... heading out to the beach in another bikini and catching a few rays while on vacay with her family.

The actress was photographed Wednesday on a beach in Puerto Vallarta ... wearing just a tiny two-piece swimsuit and lying out on a beach chair.

She's got thick sunglasses and gold earrings on ... great for hanging out on the shore -- but, it doesn't look like Jessica planned on diving into the crisp blue water and splashing around.

Here's the holly jolly ... 2 holiday Netflix films that are all horned up with hunks -- something Hallmark couldn't get away with -- have taken the streamer by storm and gone viral this season.

Sex expert Dr. Laura Berman tells TMZ ... Netflix is killing it with these flicks during the crazy holiday season when libidos tend to take a nosedive -- with women releasing their pent-up frustration with the Hallmark-style sweetness ... but with hot men getting objectified (for once!).

Laura says these steamy holiday flicks are perfect timing -- single women are looking for a stress reliever and longing for someone ... while even women in a relationship need a break from the holiday madness.

She adds it’s clear there’s women at Netflix behind these films who get that women love porn with a plot, and we can totally expect a lot more hot guy holiday content in the future.

But, don’t get too excited, 'cause Laura says we’re still a long way from a full-on Hallmark-style porno!

The famed sportscaster -- who's worked play-by-play at a few NFL games this season -- gushed over TB12's first foray into color commentating ... saying out at LAX this month Brady is "one-of-one."

America's Team, of course, is currently managed by Mike McCarthy ... but with the squad floundering at 4-7 and his contract slated to end following the season, there's been a whole lot of speculation Jerry Jones could be looking for a new sideline guy in 2025.

And, with Sanders' ties to Dallas and his impressive résumés at both Colorado and Jackson State -- Favre says he could see a situation where Jones taps Prime Time to be that man.

Jean Smart says one thing should be off the table at Thanksgiving meals this year ... election talk.

We got the "Hacks" actress at the L.A. Mission on Wednesday, where she was passing out turkey dinners to the homeless, and our photog asked her if folks should bring up politics at their holiday gatherings.

There's been a lot of talk about families uninviting their relatives based on who they voted for a couple weeks ago ... and Jean says everyone will be a lot better off if they just play nice and put on a united front.
