Peter Andre uploaded adorable footage of his son Theo meeting Santa at home in their mansion in Surrey ahead of the big day.
The star and his wife Emily organised for the man in red to make a special appearance for the six-year-old and their daughter Millie, eight, to meet Mr Claus and tell him what they wanted for Christmas.
Swapping the North Pole for Surrey, the clip showed the young boy excitedly coming face-to-face with Christmas’s hero inside their lavish abode.
Peter, 49, and Emily, 33 sat on the stairs with the pre-teens as they sang their hearts out to festive tunes alongside Santa, who joyfully played an accordian.
The father of four – he shares Princess, 15, and Junior, 17, with ex Katie Price – revealed the jolly visit came after a more sombre start to the day as he paid tribute to his late brother.
In his caption alongside the videos of his younger two meeting Santa Claus, the reality star penned a message that read: ‘What started off as a very sad day visiting my brother Andrew on the 10th anniversary of his passing with my daughter Princess and my brother Mike, Santa bought some much needed happiness into the house.

‘Thank you for making the kids ( especially Theo ) so so happy. A bittersweet day. For all who have lost loved ones, thinking of you all today [sic]’.
His candidness over the loss of his family member sparked an influx of fans’ comments that related to the singer’s pain.
One fan wrote: ‘These moments are so so precious Lost my dad way too young and even though it’s been 16 years, the Christmas period is still tough and it will always be!’

Another typed: ‘that is so lovely, that has cheered me up seeing that’.
The collection of videos began with a bell-wearing bearded Santa peeking around the mansion’s front door to the delight of the children.
After a chorus of jingle bells, a final snap was posted featuring young Theo with his arms wrapped around the man in red as he gave the Christmas figure a big hug in the house’s hallway.
Mum Emily documented the moment on her own social media channels by sharing updates to her Instagram stories, revealing the little ones ‘couldn’t believe it Santa actually sitting on [their] stairs’.
