Andy Reid brought the holiday spirit to the Chiefs' locker room for their Christmas Day win.

After the Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 29-10 on Christmas Day, Reid, 66, delighted his players — including Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes — when the head coach donned a Santa Claus outfit in the locker room.

Mahomes, 29, and Kelce, 35, sported their own festive red jackets as the team celebrated their win — which clinched them the top seed in the AFC heading into the playoffs.

In a video shared by Netflix and the NFL, the Chiefs stars can be seen reacting as Reid enters the locker room dressed as Saint Nick.

Reid was fully decked out in Santa's signature look — complete with a lush, long white beard and the classic red suit with white trim.

"How about those Chiefs!" Reid declared as his players excitedly reacted to his festive outfit.

"Hey, Merry Christmas, men," Reid said while addressing the group.

"Proud of you dudes! Proud of you," he continued.

Reid told his squad that their "present" from Santa this year was "home field advantage" in the playoffs after ensuring the first spot in their division.

Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt also addressed the group after Reid, saying that they all have "a lot to be grateful for" and congratulating the team on snagging the first seed.

Hunt gave "Santa" — aka Reid — the game ball during the address to celebrate the team's 15 wins in the regular season, a first for the franchise.

The game ball was presented to Reid by an elf, who popped out of a trunk brought into the locker room as the group cheered.

After Reid's big Santa moment, Mahomes told reporters he thought his head coach was a bit too slim to fit the character.

“He’s getting kinda skinny. He’s getting kinda skinny for the Santa,” the quarterback joked.

The Chiefs' Christmas Day win also marked a career milestone for Kelce, who officially passed Chiefs legend Tony Gonzalez for the franchise record of all-time receiving touchdowns.

The team celebrated Kelce's latest record-breaker with a post on Instagram.

"If you ever can’t find Travis, chances are he’s in the end zone," the team wrote in the caption. "Congrats, @killatrav!"
