David Beckham shows off his festive spirit as he shares a fun snap of the family’s Elf On The Shelf for his kids Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19 and Harper, 13

David Beckham shared a photo of the Elf On The Shep family on Instagram Stories on Sunday as the family got back into the festive spirit.

The former Manchester United star, 49, tagged his former Spice Girl wife, 50, in a post showing off the return of their famous little man.

In no time, the elf was sitting on the side of the counter in front of a cardboard cutout fireplace, holding a mini sign that read, “I’m back, I missed you.”

Leading up to the scene there were creative little snow prints on the wooden plank and a few wrapped presents.

David tagged his wife and wrote: “Here we go again.” The couple are parents to Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13, with the youngest two still living at the family’s London home.

Victoria has something of a reputation for her Elf On The Shelf setups, having created one of her most memorable scenes during Covid.

She gave the little guy a twist in 2020 by sticking a mask on his face, all for the benefit of her then nine-year-old daughter Harper.

Meanwhile, other celebrities have continued the festive trend as Stacey Solomon created her own helper, Joe, crafted from the inside of a toilet roll and named after her husband Joe Swash.

She shared a photo of the DIY project, sitting on a festively decorated table with a sign that read, “I’m back.”

Stacey shared the post to her Stories and wrote: ‘Here we go…it always starts off well. I’ll do my best this year, but if I miss a few days/weeks, I’ll just send him to the North Pole to help Santa.”

And fellow home influencer Mrs Hinch also jumped back on the trend when she upped her game and introduced two elves this year.

She posted a black and white photo to her Stories and shared a photo of two little elves next to a sign that read: ‘Hi Ronnie and Lennie, I’m back!…

‘But this time with my best friend! Remember… we’re watching you xxx’

Jamie Lynne Spears also got back into the festive spirit when she shared a photo on her Stories of the doll sitting on a small bean bag in front of a small door on the wall.
