It's a time for merriment and celebrations – and plenty of sports stars seem to agree.

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne got into the festive mood with his family.

There was a classic family shot of England captain Harry Kane.

Heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, who fought Deontay Wilder to a draw in their WBC title fight earlier this month, also expressed his best wishes.

Gymnast Simone Biles looked in a generous gift-giving mood, seemingly showing off a new Mercedes for her mother.
