Ryan Seacrest Gets Birthday Love on His Christmas Eve Show!

Christmas Eve just so happens to be Ryan Seacrest‘s birthday and he celebrated the big day with a special episode of Live! with Kelly & Ryan.

Ryan and his co-host Kelly Ripa dressed up in festive pajamas and got a visit from Santa, who delivered a taped video message from Ryan‘s friends and family for his birthday.

Ryan‘s mom Connie, his sister Meredith, and the American Idol judges Katy Perry, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie sent him birthday love in the cute video.

The episode was pre-taped as Ryan spent the day flying to Nashville to pay a surprise visit to a children’s hospital, where he handed out toys to the kids!

“A bday well spent with my fam and the kids at @vumcchildren! Want to give a special shout-out to @DanAndShay for helping me with this surprise, and to @JAKKStoys who donated gifts for all the kids at our #SeacrestStudios across the country!” he tweeted.
