It’s that time of year again and the countdown is on for the anticipated release of this year’s iconic Christmas adverts - but the wait is over to catch the first part of Liverpool FC’s very own heart-warming video.

Spelling the start of the festive season, this year’s film focuses on the many highs and successes enjoyed over the last year at the club, while also exciting fans for the future and celebrating the spirit of Christmas with plenty of humour throughout. 

It features cameos from men's first team and Women’s players, and fans with a keen eye will also spot another familiar face underneath Santa’s beard - Reds legend Ian Rush.

Families from the Owen McVeigh Foundation were also welcomed on set, while celebrity chef and LFC supporter Simon Rimmer makes an appearance in Anfield’s treasured and renowned Homebaked bakery. 

The Christmas video will be revealed in three parts over the festive period, with part one available to view now below.

The video comes as part of the club’s Christmas campaign message ‘Tis the season to believe’ - a notion of belief in the magic of Christmas and a nod to manager Jürgen Klopp’s famous words.

LFC has also revealed its official Christmas gifting range with a selection of exclusive presents for every Reds fan.

The range includes a wide assortment of products and experiences to choose from, including gifts for him, her, the kids and novelty Christmas essentials.

From LFC-branded apparel and jewellery to personalised and signed gifts, along with hospitality and Official Membership packages, it won’t be hard to find the perfect present for any Kopite.
