The Bundesliga wishes Happy Christmas to fans across the world!
The 2023/24 winter break is upon us and that can only mean one thing - it's Christmas time! With that in mind, the Bundesliga would like to wish all its fans around the world a wonderful holiday season!
It's been a breathtaking season so far, with Xabi Alonso's unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen setting the pace at the top, Bayern Munich not far behind and surprise package VfB Stuttgart completing the top three.

We've had 143 games so far across the first 16 matchdays - not including Bayern's snowed-off encounter against Union Berlin - and 480 goals at a clip of 3.36 per match. It's the perfect time, then, for a well-earned breather!
And we'll be back soon too, with Bayern hosting Hoffenheim in the Matchday 17 curtain-raiser on Friday 12 January.
In the meantime, we hope you and your loved ones have an enjoyable festive period and a very Merry Christmas!
