The holiday season is all about giving and receiving, and nobody vouches for this better than bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger. While many might be excited about receiving their favorite things in Christmas-themed gift wrappings, Schwarzenegger has a different ballgame altogether. The bodybuilder cannot wait for his favorite part of the season, which includes giving out gifts.

In fact, it would not be wrong if the Austrian Oak is nicknamed “Santa Claus”. Famously known for his people skills, Schwarzenegger is known to distribute presents as a part of the holiday tradition out of goodwill and heart. Recently, the Terminator actor revealed his plans to ring in the merry season.

Arnold Schwarzenegger believes in giving back to the community

In a video game titled World of Tanks: Holiday Ops 2022, Schwarzenegger has featured alongside actress Mila Jovovich. Screenrant recently interviewed the Austrian Oak to chat about the festive-season-themed game.

The interviewer asked Schwarzenegger if he likes to indulge in any festival traditions that he usually looks forward to most. Schwarzenegger disclosed, “Every single year on Christmas I make sure to get a lot of gifts for my friends and family. Sometimes I get gifts for over 100 people! The best part of Christmas is always giving back, and I’m so happy to be able to do that.”

The Governator is well-known for his philanthropic work. Not only he, but the entire Schwarzenegger family, including his ex-wife Maria Shriver, also follow the bodybuilder’s footsteps. Talking about family, the Austrian Oak cannot wait for some downtime with them. “I am also looking forward to spending a lot of time with my kids and two grandkids this year, it is really wild how fast they have grown up.”

Fans cannot wait for Schwarzenegger to share his Christmas pictures this year. Because last month when his daughter posted some “holiday photos” everyone was left awestruck.

Among all the pictures was an adorable click of Eloise with grandpa Arnold Schwarzenegger. In the picture, Arnie is holding his grandchild in his arms and tenderly kissing the side of her head. Hopefully, this Christmas, there will be many such wholesome photographs of the Schwarzeneggers across three generations!
