It’s that point of the yr once more … the place New Yorkers get within the spirit and costume up as outdated Saint Nick for an enormous bar crawl all through town — and 2022 did not disappoint.
The streets of Manhattan had been packed Saturday morning with 1000’s of people that threw on their finest fats man suits and Santa hats … all simply to parade round, sing Christmas carols and drink to their hearts’ need, and a few of these images really seize the magic.
While a majority of parents opted for the standard crimson and white getup … some acquired artistic and did totally different iterations of the standard Claus look — together with some sinister ones.
We’re speaking, after all, of somebody dressed because the Grinch (basic) … but in addition, one particular person donned the Krampus demon — who’s just about the antithesis of Santa, and who steals youngsters for being dangerous. The darkish model of Xmas you do not actually hear about a lot. 😅

As for everybody else … it appears they had been having a fairly rattling good time.
There’s tons of footage of New Yorkers celebrating and getting rowdy, however nothing too loopy it appears. A variety of this seems to be sanctioned by town, with NYPD officers throughout and even shaking palms with the attendees.
SantaCon landed on the great checklist this time!
