Newcastle United fans getting in the festive spirit while supporter their club home and away

There is just something very special about going to the match over the festive period.

The cold snap in the air, everyone seeming to be in a better mood with the festivities in full swing and, most of all, the hectic fixture list throughout Christmas and new year. As always, the festive fixtures will be labelled as a 'crucial period' in the Premier League season - but for supporters, they are something to embrace with big games coming thick and fast.

With the festive period now in full swing, we take a look back over the last 15 years to see how Newcastle fans have backed their side over Christmas.
