Eddie Hall has swapped barbells for baubles this winter — because the 2017 World’s Strongest Man has just released his brand-new children’s Christmas book, The Beast Saves Christmas, right in time for the festive season.
Available now on Amazon, the paperback hit shelves on December 2, 2025 and sees “The Beast” himself step into the storybook spotlight for a hilarious, heartwarming adventure where only one man is strong enough to save Christmas.
The plot? Chaos hits the North Pole when wild weather grounds Santa’s sleigh and the reindeer are out of magic food. With Christmas teetering on the edge of cancellation, Santa calls in some serious muscle. Enter The Beast — who was hoping for a quiet Christmas Eve session at the gym before getting roped into the most important delivery of all.
According to the official blurb, The Beast Saves Christmas is “a laugh-out-loud holiday adventure packed with cheeky rhymes, hilarious surprises, and lively illustrations.” Perfect for fans of ’Twas the Fart Before Christmas and Aliens Love Panta Claus, it promises to be “the smelliest Christmas story ever written” — and a guaranteed hit for parents looking to keep kids entertained over the holidays, and introduce them to the legend that is Eddie Hall.
The book was written by Eddie Hall alongside children’s author Calum Greenall, with illustrations by Ellie Lewis — the same creative team behind The Beast Goes to the Circus. It’s a collaboration that captures Eddie’s larger-than-life personality, Calum’s playful writing style, and Ellie’s colourful, energetic artwork.
For Hall, it’s another way to inspire young readers with the values that powered his strongman career — determination, teamwork, and believing that even the biggest challenges (or sleighs) can be lifted with the right attitude.
The 2017 World’s Strongest Man has long been known for his record-breaking 500kg deadlift, his dominance in strongman competitions, and his larger-than-life character. Since retiring from competition, he’s turned his energy toward new ventures — from boxing to MMA to hilarious social media challenges to storytelling that brings his signature humour and heart to a younger audience.
Funny, festive, and surprisingly uplifting, The Beast Saves Christmas looks set to become a seasonal favourite — and a reminder that even the strongest need a little magic to make Christmas happen.
The Beast Saves Christmas by Eddie Hall, Calum Greenall and Ellie Lewis is out now and available to buy on Amazon.
Merry Beastman, everyone!
