And just like many families around the world, the Furys all wore matching outfits.

The entire Fury clan of eight wore adorable snowman pajamas with their names on them.

Dotting Dad Tyson had ‘Daddy Fury’ written on his Christmas top.

Proud mum Paris shared the snap to her Instagram Story with the accompanying caption: “Merry Christmas from the Furys”.

Fury wasn’t the only major sports star to get into the festive spirit on Christmas Eve.

Athletes all over the world are also spreading the Christmas spirit with their millions of social media followers.

A slew of former and current Premier League stars took to Instagram to share heartwarming snaps of themselves with loved ones.

Chelsea hitman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang posed with his wife and two sons in front of an elegant looking tree for an adorable snap.

Liverpool hit man Darwin Nunez and his girlfriend Lorena Manas sent their Christmas wishes with a snap of themselves enjoying a hickey on their tree with their two children and their dogs.

Nunez’s Liverpool team-mate Alisson was the picture of happiness in sweet photos of himself with his young family in front of their glittering tree.

Allison’s Brazil teammate Ederson posted two snaps of his family, of which he was proudly kissing his wife Lais Morais as they hugged their three children.

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy and his wife Rebekah are spreading their festive spirit with a picture of themselves embracing in matching pyjamas, in front of a massive tree outside their home.

Manchester United stopper David de Gea and his wife Edurne Garcia donned Christmas jumpers as they sat on the floor with daughter Yanay.

De Gea’s former teammate Edinson Cavani grinned broadly as he posed for a Christmas tree snap with partner Jocelyn Burgardt.

Ex-Chelsea stars Thibaut Courtois and Timo Werner both also took snaps in front of the tree, although the former’s photo had a stunning misty mountain backdrop.

Though it might be tempting for them to indulge in an extra plate of Christmas dinner and a naughty drink, Prem stars need to watch out for their reception as most of them will be back in action on Boxing Day.
