David Beckham is embracing the festive season with a lighthearted nod to the popular Elf on the Shelf tradition.

The former footballer, 49, recently shared a humorous video on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse of his own family’s take on the Christmas game. Check out the video below.

David Beckham’s hilarious Holiday mishap

In the clip, Beckham walked into his office on a December morning, only to find it transformed into a holiday-themed scene by mischievous Scout Elves.

“Morning-I’ve literally just walked into the office, and normally the office is quite tidy, but something has gone on during the night… I mean really, there is mess on the floor,” he said, pointing to the tiny elves strewn across his desk and speakers.

He concluded with a playful remark: “It’s definitely Christmas in the office!”

Captioning the video, Beckham joked, “This is getting out of control… it’s definitely Christmas in the office.”

The post resonated with fans who know all too well the effort and creativity that goes into the Elf on the Shelf tradition, which has become a family staple in households worldwide.

The game, which originated in 2005, involves parents setting up the elves in elaborate or amusing scenes for children to discover each morning.

However, even its creators, Chanda Bell and Christa Pitts, advise keeping it simple.

“He doesn’t have to be that complicated,”Bell said, emphasizing that the tradition is about creating joyful family moments.

For Beckham, who shares four children-Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13-with wife Victoria, the Elf on the Shelf antics are a way to celebrate the magic of the holiday season.

The playful post follows a somber week for the global icon, as he mourned the loss of Kath Phipps, a beloved Manchester United receptionist who worked at the club for over 55 years.

Beckham shared a heartfelt tribute to her on Instagram, calling her “the heartbeat of Manchester United.”

While reflecting on a difficult time, Beckham’s festive elf post reminded fans to find joy and humor in the little moments that make the holiday season special.
