12 Days of Christmas: West Ham stars serve food to local families


West Ham stars gave local families an afternoon to remember with a surprise visit to a community theatre. 

Chicharito, Winston Reid, Declan Rice and Sam Byram were special guests at Full Hearts Full Tummies, an annual event where parents and children are invited to watch a Christmas play and enjoy a festive meal. 

The players took the time to take selfies, sign autographs and serve food at the arts centre, based less than two miles from London Stadium. 

Full Hearts Full Tummies was set up by Stratford Circus three years ago to provide a fun and unforgettable experience to local disadvantaged families. 

The 12 Days of Christmas kicked off last week with our Claret Crackers challenge between Marko Arnautovic and Sam Byram. Click here to watch the video.

Our second day of the 12 Days of Christmas saw Mark Noble, Winston Reid, James Collins, Andy Carroll, Aaron Cresswell and manager David Moyes spread cheer to families attending the Richard House Children's Hospice's Christmas party at London. Click here to watch.

The third day saw our U23s and Academy players take part in a festive Me or Him challenge. You can watch the full video here.

Day four pitted Chicharito and Pablo Zabaleta together in another Claret Crackers video, while day five had our Ladies team  competing in a festive keepie-uppies challenge.

Pablo Zabaleta was among the Hammers who surprised a group of local schoolchildren by photobombing their London Stadium tour on day six.

Day seven saw Diafra Sakho take on Jose Fonte in our latest Claret Crackers video, while the first team's trip to youngsters at Newham University Hospital was our day eight feature.

For day nine, Sir Trevor Brooking shared festive Hammers memories with supporters in the Any Old Irons group.
