It’s the first Christmas without “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan—and the family is still feeling the loss.
On December 24, 2025—exactly one year before their final Christmas together—Hogan’s daughter-in-law, Tana Lea, took to Instagram with an emotional throwback. The photo, taken in December 2024, shows Hogan surrounded by loved ones including his wife Sky Daily and son Nick Hogan. Her caption said it all:
“This was a year ago today 🥺😭 we miss you so much Big Dog ❤️💛😭 so much. @nickhogan @mrs.sky.hogan 🥺”
This marks the family’s first holiday season without the WWE Hall of Famer, who passed away on July 24, 2025. The emotion in Tana’s post added to the grief already shared publicly by the Hogan family in recent months. Nick Hogan recently shared his own emotional message, revealing the grief he still carries:
“I miss you Dad. Everyday. It hasn’t gotten easier, but I’m doing a lot of things that I feel would make you proud. Business and family are good. I wish you were here to call and hang out with me just one more time.”
There were no hashtags, no filters—just raw emotion from a family still mourning the man who was larger than life in and out of the ring. For wrestling fans and loved ones alike, Hulk Hogan’s absence this holiday season is felt more than ever.
