The [social media-friendly actor](http://time.com/5003682/stranger-things-hopper-steve-harrington-hair/) took to Instagram on Monday to celebrate his [Golden Globes nomination](http://time.com/5058171/2018-golden-globes-nominees/) in snazzy fashion. He posted a shot of himself striking a hammy pose in a festive sweater – and with him as always, his iconic hat for the hat tip. It wasn’t long before a Reddit user snapped up the original shot to launch a [Photoshop battle](http://time.com/4939437/kid-astronaut-photoshop-battle/). The picture became a hit as [Photoshop-savvy users doctored the image](https://www.reddit.com/r/photoshopbattles/comments/7j5r7m/psbattle%5Fxmas%5Fhopper%5Ffrom%5Fstranger%5Fthings/) into oblivion by sticking Harbour into endless situations. Holiday and _Stranger Things_ takes? This battle has those. And he fit in perfectly in the White House with Nixon and the King, onstage with Michael Jackson, and alongside sad Keanu. Only one photo can win.
