Holidays are coming! December is here and we can't wait to celebrate the festive season.

Now we're a little older, one thing that is pretty much out is the traditional Santa's Grotto visit. So, to find a way to keep the joy of meeting Father Christmas alive, we've been taking a look back at all the times our favourite celebrities embraced their own inner Mr Claus.

Take a look down Santa Claus's lane. Maybe you'll find one of them at the foot of your chimney on December 25th. Now wouldn't that be a Christmas miracle?

Celebrities In Santa Outfits

Ryan Phillippe

In truth, Ryan's film Studio 54 was not exactly a classic. But it did give us this festive moment that we have been unable to forget ever since. We're suddenly jealous of the Mommy who got caught kissing Santa Claus under the mistletoe.

Kurt Russell

One of the nicest guys in Hollywood donned the beard and red suit for a more traditional depiction of the big guy, in his film The Christmas Chronicles. His real life partner Goldie Hawn plays Mrs Clause in the sequel.

Jake Gyllenhaal

Does a hat make an outfit? In this case, we'll allow it. The Donnie Darko actor donned the red hat and white pom pom for his acclaimed turn in Jarhead.

Billy Bob Thornton

The award-winning actor gave a delightfully evil turn in black comedy Bad Santa, where he played a hard-drinking, curse word-loving Santa. Not exactly Richard Attenborough-esque, it was a novel treat.

Ben Affleck

Ben played a robber dressing up as Santa to help his criminal activity in Reindeer Games. Bad, bad Ben. A lump of coal for you.

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton deserves to be on the nice list simply for releasing Stars Are Blind. Beyond that, as an heir to the Hilton fortune, we imagine she doesn't need Santa to show up bearing presents though.

John Travolta

We've got chills. They're multiplying. On seeing Grease legend John Travolta dress as Santa for a Capital One Christmas advert.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry is just one pop girl who has enjoyed embracing Christmas via a red dress with white fringing in recent years...

Who doesn't love Arnie in Christmas classic Jingle All The Way? He did a little bit of dress up to publicise the kid's classic.
