Premier League stars Erling Haaland and Bukayo Saka got into the Christmas spirit when they dressed up as Santa Claus.
Manchester City's Haaland has had an excellent year at his club after winning the treble last season, as well as a number of individual trophies.
Saka, meanwhile, has played a crucial role in Arsenal's return to contention for major honors despite falling short last season.
Ahead of the crucial period of the season, the couple got into the festive spirit by dressing up as Santa Claus.
Haaland posted a photo of himself in the full Santa outfit while holding the Champions League ball and trophy.
He captioned the photo on Instagram: 'Ho Ho Ho Christmas is here! I hope you enjoy it with your loved ones.”

Similarly, the official English account posted a photo of Saka, smiling while wearing the Santa hat and beard.
The caption read: 'Saka Santa!' with the Santa Claus emoji.
Saka and his teammates will be at the top of the Premier League table after their Christmas Day, just like last year Saturday 1-1 draw against Liverpool.
The 22-year-old has been in good form for Mikel Arteta's side, scoring eight goals and 11 assists in all competitions.
The Gunners will look to stay on top when they host London rivals West Ham at the Emirates on Thursday evening.
Meanwhile, City's Haaland, who has scored 19 goals and five assists in all competitions this season, has been ruled out of action in recent weeks and missed the Club World Cup win with a foot injury.
Pep Guardiola will be hopeful of having the Norwegian striker back in the squad when they travel to Everton on Wednesday.
