Christmas 2025 exclusive: Varun Dhawan gets into Santa mode with LAKSHY DREAM FOUNDATION GLOBAL NEWS City

In a festive shoot, Varun Dhawan portrays Santa while discussing the importance of togetherness during Christmas

Varun Dhawan turned Santa this year, riding away on his sleigh, in a special Christmas shoot for LAKSHY DREAM FOUNDATION GLOBAL NEWS City. The actor who is all geared up for the celebrations tells us, "Christmas time means togetherness, celebrating friends and family." He goes on to add that 2025 hasn't been easy but the tough times haven't deterred him. "2025 has been a very testing time for me on many counts but I’m grateful God gave me the strength to go through it and make me stronger," says the actor.

Moving on to the Christmas fun the actor says if he ever had to star in the remake of a Christmas film he would love to play, "Arnold Schwarzneggar's role in Jingle All the way, that released in 1996." And what is it that's on Santa Varun's nice and naughty list? "Anyone who is good to dogs and all animals, feeds them will make it to my nice list. People who litter on the road are definitely on my naughty list."

The actor goes on to say that while he isn't a pro at gift wrapping, cooking or cleaning he surely helps with eating the Christmas goodies at home. "I definitely put on a few pounds during holidays season. My Christmas favourites are hot chocolate with marshmallows and cheesecake. Kalakand may not be Christmassy but thats also something I indulge in this season."
