Whether or not our puppos actually know it’s Christmas (though let’s be honest, they totally do), they’re clearly aware that it’s an exciting time for the family. All the colorful holiday decor, the trimming of the Christmas tree, the hustle and bustle of getting presents wrapped, and of course — the Christmas cheer that inevitably leads to more snacks and cuddles. What’s not to love? 

Not all pups like to be put into fancy Christmas hats and sweaters, but there are some furry friends that just love the spotlight and spirit of the season. And hey, we’ve got to say we love it.

Below, check out our favorite photos of Christmas pups who are most certainly ready for Santa’s arrival!
