About this Event
Celtic FC Foundation are delighted to confirm that the Santa Stroll will make its return this year, in support of our 2026 Christmas Appeal and we’re delighted to confirm that the event will be generously sponsored by our friends at Scot Hoist Ltd.
It will take place on the morning of Saturday, December 12, 2026 at Celtic Park and once again promises to be day packed full of festive fun for all the family.
The route will begin at the top of Celtic Way before participants step inside Paradise and head along the byline at the Lisbon Lions end. The group will then enter the North Stand concourse and rejoin the stadium bowl once again, as they travel along the byline at the Jock Stein end. The lap will be completed by passing the iconic statues at the front of the stadium. The Santa Stroll will consist of three laps, taking in a total of 1.5 miles, in the special surroundings of Paradise.
To get everyone into the festive spirit, each participant will be provided with a Santa hat and a Santa Stroll t-shirt. Everyone will be welcomed into the stadium by Santa himself, as well as Hoopy the Huddle Hound both pre and post event.

This Christmas, your support can help Celtic FC Foundation bring a little joy, warmth and hope to those who need it most.
Across our local communities, we will be supporting families facing poverty, pensioners, women and children in refuge, the homeless community and refugees, along with a host of others who are vulnerable.
And through our Paradise Pit Stop initiative – which operates four days a week, all year round – we will once again open the doors of our home, Celtic Park, for a special Christmas Day offering, providing a festive meal and the warmest of welcomes. We are currently at full capacity but we are still accepting names for a waiting list and our weekly Paradise Pit Stop service continues to operate for those who wish to attend.
Our Christmas Appeal will touch thousands of lives this festive period and we humbly ask you, the Celtic support, to stand with us and help make a positive difference for so many. Because sometimes, the greatest gift we can offer is compassion.
Your incredible empathy and generosity will help us to continue the mission of Celtic.
Thank you so much for ensuring that those most in need, will never walk alone.
