Manchester City’s Haaland has had an outstanding year with his club, winning the treble last season and a number of individual awards.
Saka, meanwhile, has played a crucial role in Arsenal’s return to contention for major honors despite them falling short last season.
Ahead of a key period of the season, the couple got into the holiday spirit by dressing up as Santa Claus.
Haaland posted a photo of himself in full Santa costume, holding a ball and the Champions League trophy.
He captioned the photo on Instagram: “Ho ho ho Christmas is here!” I hope you can enjoy it with your loved ones.”

Saka and his teammates will, like last year, go top of the Premier League table at Christmas after their victories. Draw 1-1 with Liverpool on Saturday.
The 22-year-old has been in fine form for Mikel Arteta’s side, scoring eight goals and providing 11 assists in all competitions.
The Gunners will look to stay on top when they host London rivals West Ham at the Emirates on Thursday evening.
Meanwhile City’s Haaland, who has scored 19 goals and five assists in all competitions this season, has been sidelined in recent weeks and missed the Club World Cup triumph with a foot injury.
Pep Guardiola hopes the Norwegian striker will be back in the squad when they travel to Everton on Wednesday.
