The former Arsenal star took to the slopes during the Bundesliga's winter break.
Granit Xhaka showed off a new look while on holiday
The midfielder has gone for a buzzcut
Xhaka, 32, left the Gunners in 2023 for Bayer Leverkusen and has become one of the side's key players.
He played a crucial role in the team winning the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal last term.
This included a run of 51 matches unbeaten under manager Xabi Alonso.
But unlike Arsenal, Xhaka gets the festive period off work due to the winter break in Germany.
The midfielder has taken the opportunity to go on holiday with their pregnant wife, Leonita, and their two daughters, Ayana and Laneya.
They visited the Arosa Kulm Hotel and Alpin Spa in Switzerland and enjoyed some time trekking on the slopes.
He shared snaps from the trip on Instagram with the caption: "Family Time is the Best Time."
However, Xhaka looked nearly unrecognisable with his new haircut, which can be seen in the pictures.
The Swiss international has clipped most of his hair off as he has gone for a buzz cut.
Fans have been left shocked by the bold new look as they reacted in the comment section.
One posted: "Xhaka buzz cut before GTA 6."
A second commented: "They aren't ready for buzzed Xhaka."
A third wrote: "Just when he couldn't be more intimidating in midfield."
A fourth said: "Looking good Granit."
Xhaka will return to action with Leverkusen on January 10 against Borussia Dortmund.
It will have been five weeks since their previous game, which was a 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal.
