HARRY KANE can’t wait to taunt his mates back in England – when he celebrates his first ever Christmas off with a beach holiday.
Football goes cold turkey for three weeks in the Bundesliga – whereas Premier League players will be eating there’s carefully due to their traditional hectic festive schedule.
Bayern Munich’s new hero plans to send his old playing pals pictures of himself relaxing on the sand while they knuckle down to their busiest time of the year on the pitch.
But above all the England skipper is relishing a reunion with his wife Kate and four kids – after a “tough” four months without them in Germany.
The strike legend, 30, has set all sorts of early-season records by blasting 21 goals in 15 Bundesliga games since arriving from Spurs last summer.
And although he’d love to maintain that incredible ratio, Kane is delighted to have a mid-season rest over Xmas and New Year.

He’s even filmed a light-hearted festive video for Amazon Prime to honour his break.
And he said of his time off: “I’m really looking forward to it.
“It’s been tough here without the family for these four months, without the kids and without the wife.
“It’s just about spending some time with them, some quality time.

“When we get back everyone will move to Germany, which will be nice as well.”
Kane and his family will head for a sunny escape soon after Christmas.
He said: “We’re going somewhere hot, so we’ll spend 10 days and just enjoy that time.
“I’m going to text all my mates in England a picture of me on the beach somewhere.”
Kane signed off for Xmas with a 25-yard cracker in Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat of Wolfsburg – leaving him level with Kylian Mbappe on 52 goals as the world’s leading top-flight scorer this calendar year.
However, Bayern are still four points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen, albeit with a game in hand.
