My mother and father and sister are coming to dinner tonight. vs My mother, father, and sister are coming dinner tonight.

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different structures. The first phrase uses 'and' to connect all the family members, while the second phrase uses commas to separate the family members. Both forms are commonly used in English, so the choice between them depends on personal preference.
