The Hogan family’s first Christmas without “The Immortal” Hulk Hogan has taken a particularly emotional turn, and Nick Hogan just made sure fans felt every bit of it.

In an emotional post on his Instagram story, Nick Hogan shared a series of throwback photos of himself and his late father, including moments with other family members and one powerful shot of Hulk kissing Nick. The caption was simple but devastating: “We sure do miss you Big Dog.”

This emotional tribute comes after Tana Lea, Nick’s wife, posted her own message on Instagram, marking one year since their last Christmas together. Her caption—“This was a year ago today 🥺😭 we miss you so much Big Dog ❤️💛😭 so much”—accompanied a photo of Hogan surrounded by family in December 2024, with Sky Daily and Nick by his side.

Hulk Hogan passed away on July 24, 2025, and since then, the Hogan family has slowly begun to share memories and tributes in his honor, especially now that it’s officially the holidays.

Earlier this month, Nick made headlines after buying back his father’s iconic red-and-yellow Dodge Viper, the same one that sold for charity at Mecum’s Kissimmee auction in 2020. The Viper, now parked inside Hulk’s personal gym, has become a symbol of legacy and remembrance.

“Dad’s gym and Viper back home together again. ❤️💛” Nick wrote at the time, sharing an image of the car beside Hulk’s old training space.

From emotional throwbacks to symbolic gestures, the Hogan family is keeping Hulk’s memory alive this Christmas. Whether it’s through photos, stories, or his unmistakable Viper, The Immortal One is still very much a part of their world—and the hearts of fans everywhere.
