Celtic Park was filled with festive joy on Thursday evening as Celtic FC Foundation hosted the brand-new ‘The Hoopy and Hailey Christmas Party’ in the Kerrydale Suite, bringing together children and families for a fun-filled celebration in support of the Foundation’s 2025 Christmas Appeal.

From the moment the doors opened, the atmosphere was one of excitement and cheer, with families enjoying an evening packed full of entertainment.

Party food was on offer for children and adults alike, while a lively disco kept the dancefloor busy throughout the night, with Hoopy and Hailey leading the celebrations and ensuring plenty of smiles along the way.

A highlight of the evening came with a very special visit from Santa Claus, who made his way around the room to meet each child and deliver a Christmas gift, creating unforgettable moments for families in attendance.

The festivities continued with a Christmas raffle, featuring a range of fantastic family-friendly prizes, adding to the sense of fun and anticipation.

The event proved to be a wonderful opportunity for families to come together and enjoy the magic of Christmas at Celtic Park, while also helping to support the vital work of Celtic FC Foundation through the 2025 Christmas Appeal.

The Foundation would like to thank everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a memorable occasion for all involved.

Our 2025 Christmas Appeal, as always, aims to bring some comfort and joy 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 experiencing hardships.

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 now currently at full capacity and look forward to welcoming our guests.

Our Christmas Appeal will touch thousands of lives this festive period and we continue to ask you, the completely unique and unsurpassable Celtic support, to stand with us and help make a positive difference for those who need it most.
