On December 25, 2025, the 25-year-old shared a photo of himself fully dressed as Santa Claus, complete with the iconic red suit, white beard, and hat. Captioned "Here to spread some Christmas joy! 🎅🎄 (ICYMI: more Santa vibes on YT 👀)", the post quickly garnered thousands of likes and reposts, delighting followers worldwide.
The image shows Haaland embracing the holiday spirit, posing in his Santa outfit while referencing his recent YouTube adventure. Earlier in December, Haaland went undercover as Father Christmas in Manchester, surprising young fans by delivering gifts door-to-door. In a viral video titled "I Went Undercover as Santa In the Streets of Manchester!", he donned a professional disguise—including bushy eyebrows, a fake beard, and rosy cheeks applied by a makeup artist—to maintain anonymity. Despite his towering 6'4" frame and subtle Norwegian accent giving hints away, the surprises were magical. Kids reacted with shock and excitement upon realizing their visitor was the goal-scoring superstar, with some moments bordering on chaos as families posed for photos.
Haaland expressed his love for Christmas in the video, describing it as a time for "cosiness" with family and friends. This stunt follows his Halloween tradition of dressing up (previously as the Joker), showcasing his playful off-pitch personality. Amid a stellar 2025-26 season where he's already notched over 20 goals, keeping City in title contention, these lighthearted antics endear him further to supporters.
The Christmas Day post ties perfectly into his festive activities, blending his on-field dominance with off-field generosity. Fans flooded the comments with praise, calling him the "real Santa" and joking about his "naughty list" for rival supporters (like one cheeky Manchester United fan he encountered).
