John Travolta transformed into Santa Claus and recreated his incredible 1977 Saturday Night Fever dance for a new Capital One advert.
The acting legend, 69, was unrecognizable as he sported flowing white locks and a bushy beard for the advert - which saw him recreate his famed Staying Alive routine as Tony Manero.
The Grease star donned the festive figure's cozy red and white outfit as he strutted down the street - before ending the advert with a dance.
The star is seen performing Christmas miracles and speaking to shopkeepers before talking to a shopkeeper - who plays Annette actress Donna Pescow in the original film.

Based on Nik Cohn's 'Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night' article, Saturday Night Fever was a critical and commercial smash hit on release in 1977, and has since come to define the grittier side of the disco era.
The musical tells the story of Tony Manero, a 19-year-old working-class man who escapes the harsh realities of life by spending his weekends at the local discotheque.
