Why did the woman say "The Williams" while the family said "The Williamses."? You can call a family name ending with "s" either way? Or did the woman misunderstood their last name is "William" not "Williams". Shouldn't it be "The Williamses" in all cases?

In the case of a surname ending in "s", people do sometimes add "-es" to talk about a family, collectively. However, it is not very common to do this. I think this form is used in your example to give a bit more impact/ emphasis to the final exclamation. I'm assuming this is an advertisement, or something of the sort... Usually, you would just say 'the Williams'.

I think this is something that even many English speakers make mistakes with, because there aren’t that many last names that end in an S sound. But the “rule” is just like with any word that ends in an S in singular. Kiss- singular Kisses - plural
