How Elias Pettersson and Katelyn Byrd got into the Christmas spirit early

Once back at home, the couple dived into decorating with candles, ornaments, and a sparkling tree that filled the room with festive charm. Elias joked that it might be “too soon,” but he still helped hang up decorations, thus earning himself the title of “Santa’s little elf.” The vlog felt like a combination of romance, humor, and domestic chaos — a peek into a life that was far removed from the NHL pressure and the bright lights of the arena. The laughter of the players and their collaboration gave a sense of realness to the situation that the fans love to experience from the normally introverted hockey player.

Their day came to an end with a chill lunch date, Katelyn dubbing herself a "happy girl" and playfully twirling pasta and laughing over the table.The vlog showed the heart of hockey — two people finding happiness in the usual, not only in the holiday preparation. For the public, it was an infrequent glimpse into Pettersson’s life outside of the rink, which was undoubtedly full of warmth, balance, and a love that sparkled just as brightly as their Christmas lights.More coverage on NHL NHL Injury Update: Calgary Flames rookie Zayne Parekh injured in game against Chicago BlackhawksNHL Watch: David Kampf’s future uncertain with Toronto Maple LeafsNHL Rumors: Brendan Shanahan’s next move could involve Buffalo Sabres or Chicago Blackhawks
