David Villa plays Santa Claus for New York City FC

Christmas has always been a time where professional sports teams and players can let loose and have a little fun. It is also a great opportunity for a team to market itself and its stars through various social media outlets.

This year, New York City FC did it’s best to put the woes of the club’s disappointing inaugural season behind them, and took to Twitter to wish their fans a happy holiday. 2010 World Cup winner, David Villa, decided to have a laugh at the expense of some of his teammates and gave them all some pretty comical gifts.
