Amborellales: Southern hemisphere including Antarctica

Nymphaeales: World wide except Antarctica

Austrobaileyales: Asia, North America, and Australia

Magnoliids: World wide including Antarctica

Chloranthaceae: Australia, Antarctica, and South America

Monocotyledons: World wide including Antarctica

Ceratophyllum: World wide except Antarctica

Lycopodiophyta:

Lycopodiaceae: World wide except Antarctica

Huperziaceae: World wide except Antarctica

Isoetales: World wide except Antarctica

Selaginellales: World wide including Antarctica


Pteridophyta:

Equisetaceae: World wide including Antarctica

Marattiopsida: World wide including Antarctica

Pteridopsida: Southern hemisphere including Antarctica


Pinophyta:

Pinaceae: World wide except Antarctica

Araucarians: World wide including Antarctica

Podocarpaceae: Southern hemisphere including Antarctica

Sciadopityaceae: Asia

Cupressaceae: World wide except Antarctica


Cycadophyta:

You might wanna include some Ericales aswell since this group appears to have been quite diversified even in the Cretaceous, and they probably would continue to do so, seeing that Ericales are a really diverse plant order found basically everywhere, from tundras, mountain meadows to deserts, rainforests etc.
Infact, many plant families did already exist in the cretaceous: Fabaceae (Legumes and relatives), Fagales (oaks, birks etc) or also Eucalyptus like plants already existed during the Cretaceous. Flowering plants during the cretaceous were not as primitive or poor as one might think. Ofcourse we will have to think about some alternate/fictional families. Just because the ancestors of modern Oaks were succesful in the real world, doesnt mean they have to in this world, might get replaced by Gingkos or other, completly new plant families.
I actually think that even without a K/T event, angiosperms would continue to become more and more dominant and largely replace conifers, conifers still will remain dominant in cold temperate ares and high latitudes though.
