Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s warmup gear before his Christmas night game was nice and naughty.

The NFL star, who joined the team at the start of the 2023 season, stepped onto San Francisco's Levi’s Stadium field suited up in a sweatshirt featuring the holiday season's most famous faces — from A Christmas Story's Ralphie Billingsley to Home Alone's Kevin McCallister.

On his feet: custom MTO Christmas cleats created by Dominic “The Surgeon” Ciambrone in collaboration with the pro athlete.

According to a release, the duo was inspired by the Nike Kobe 6 Protro "Grinch" sneaker (released in 2020) to create these "Grinchmas" kicks.

While the left cleat was decked out in plush red-and-white fabric that recalled Santa Claus's iconic getup (and was complete with a removable hat) the right cleat was covered in a green, furry fabric reminiscent of the beloved Dr. Seuss character — and even featured a button-activated, light-up heart.
