The holidays bring out the best kind of chaos in the sports world, and this week delivered a little bit of everything—style, rivalry, and good old-fashioned excess.
LPGA star Charley Hull gave fans something to talk about off the course after stepping out for a Christmas night on the town with friends. Dressed to impress, Hull and her group leaned fully into the festive spirit, trading golf attire for glamorous holiday looks. Social media quickly took notice, reminding everyone that athletes can turn heads just as easily away from competition as they do in it.
Meanwhile, college football rivalry season never really sleeps—even during Christmas. One young Georgia fan went viral for making his feelings about Tennessee crystal clear. The kid’s blunt, unapologetic dislike for the Vols summed up the Dawgs–Vols rivalry in its purest form: learned early, expressed loudly, and proudly worn. It was the kind of moment that only college football culture can produce, especially in the South.
And then there was MEAT—because no sports-adjacent holiday roundup is complete without something completely over the top. Whether it was grilling, feasting, or simply celebrating excess, MEAT became the unofficial mascot of the moment, tying together sports fandom and holiday indulgence in the most fitting way possible.
From Charley Hull’s festive glow-up to rivalry-fueled trash talk and unapologetic holiday eating, it was a reminder that sports culture doesn’t pause for Christmas—it just puts on a better outfit and turns the volume up.
