This Christmas, skiing legend Mikaela Shiffrin is trading her skis for some much-needed family time, celebrating the holidays with her beloved mom and longtime coach Eileen Shiffrin, along with close family and friends in a cozy, heartfelt gathering.
The 30-year-old American superstar, fresh off a flawless 4-for-4 slalom sweep this season (extending her streak to five straight wins), is soaking up the joy of the season before heading back to the World Cup circuit in Semmering, Austria.
Shiffrin’s unbreakable bond with her mother Eileen shines brightest during the holidays. Eileen, who left her nursing career to become Mikaela’s full-time coach and biggest supporter, has been the constant force behind her daughter’s record-shattering career – now at 105 World Cup victories.
From festive podium moments posing with Santa in Levi to quieter family traditions, Mikaela’s holiday spirit reminds us all of the power of love and togetherness amid an intense Olympic season.
As the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games loom, this Christmas break is the perfect recharge for the GOAT of alpine skiing. Wishing Mikaela, Eileen, and the entire Shiffrin family a magical holiday filled with warmth, laughter, and endless joy! ❤️🎅
