Which one is right:

Enjoy with family

Enjoy with the family

They are both correct. If you want to specify a certain family or certain family members you use β€˜the family’. Whereas β€˜family’ is used to talk about family in general.
Β 
For example, somebody might say to you β€˜enjoy the holidays with family’ they probably don’t know your family very well or want to talk about your family as a whole rather than certain members of your family, like your nuclear family.
Β 
Whereas β€˜enjoy the holidays with the family’ is addressing your specific family members, the specific family members you are spending the holidays with.
