Cristiano Ronaldo meets Santa Claus! Portuguese superstar looks awkward as family join Father Christmas for cringe-worthy singalong

<p>The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is making the most of an opportunity to soak up festive spirit alongside <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-cristiano-ronaldo-georgina-rodriguez-embrace-downtime-al-nassr-beach-paradise/blt2ae895b7d270b525" target="_blank">his partner Georgina Rodriguez</a> and their children. Ronaldo has spare time on his hands as Saudi Pro League employers <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-dream-job-al-nassr-superstar-tipped-move-management-one-vacancy-not-man-utd/bltecb3449448f43493" target="_blank">Al-Nassr have reached their winter break</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ronaldo has linked up with another global superstar, Father Christmas, but looked a little out of place when attending a meet and greet that saw the bearer of December gifts break into song. CR7 was caught on camera by Georgina looking sheepish as he took up a perch behind his young family.</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltb58168b74ce6e5a0/santa%20ronaldo%201.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltb58168b74ce6e5a0/santa%20ronaldo%201.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltb58168b74ce6e5a0/santa%20ronaldo%201.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Cristiano Ronaldo Santa Claus 2024" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:bltb58168b74ce6e5a0;width:450;height:545"></picture>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Georgina was having a better time and has pointed out that the Ronaldo clan “have already left our letters at home of Santa”. The exchanging of those presents will take place on Wednesday, with the sweltering heat of Saudi Arabia being left behind for now.</p><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt50a2d376eb69089f/santa%20ronaldo%202.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt50a2d376eb69089f/santa%20ronaldo%202.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt50a2d376eb69089f/santa%20ronaldo%202.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Georgina Rodriguez Santa Claus 2024" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt50a2d376eb69089f;width:457;height:671"></picture>

WHAT GEORGINA SAID

<p>Ronaldo will be back in the Middle East ahead of Al-Nassr returning to action against Al-Akhdoud on January 9. His <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/boss-man-utd-cristiano-jr-ronaldo-tipped-very-good-manager-record-breaking-boots-knowledge-next-generation/blt8f69c7b96a4c0b3c" target="_blank">record-breaking contract is due to expire</a> in the summer of 2025, but an <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-wont-finish-any-time-soon-bid-post-unbreakable-record-following-man-utd-legend-david-beckham-investment-wrexham-wait/blt4bfb2283c86a2621" target="_blank">extension is expected to be agreed</a> before he becomes a free agent.</p>
