Drake Hogestyn got a pretty awesome gift this Christmas -- a beautiful grandson. The longtime Days of our Lives actor shared a photo of the little one on social media.

Hogestyn announced on Twitter that his grandson Thomas Drake "arrived happy and healthy amidst a lively family celebration" on Christmas Day.

"He's here!!!" Hogestyn exclaimed. "So blessed and proud! Woohoo!"
