Sanders spreading festive cheer is nothing new. Last year at Christmas, the Buffs coach sent out a few messages stressing the importance of spreading peace. In his Christmas post on Instagram, he wrote, “Have a blessed, peaceful, loving Christmas. Don’t allow your spending or gifting to anger or take you to a place of discomfort. Stay within your means and be a blessing always with your presence because you’re the ultimate gift. I love and appreciate all of you even the 1z with hate in their hearts because they will see the light one day if we keep on shining.”

Meanwhile, his Easter Instagram post garnered plenty of heartwarming reactions from his followers, who lauded his efforts to spread positivity.
