SantaCon 2022 Overtakes NYC As Rowdy Residents Dress as Saint Nick

It’s that point of the yr once more … the place New Yorkers get within the spirit and gown up as previous Saint Nick for an enormous bar crawl all through town — and 2022 did not disappoint.

The streets of Manhattan have been packed Saturday morning with hundreds 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’ want, and a few of these images actually seize the magic.

While a majority of parents opted for the standard crimson and white getup … some acquired artistic and did completely different iterations of the standard Claus look — together with some sinister ones.

We’re speaking, after all, of somebody dressed as the Grinch (traditional) … but in addition, one particular person donned the Krampus demon — who’s just about the antithesis of Santa, and who steals kids for being unhealthy. The darkish model of Xmas you do not actually hear about a lot. 😅

As for everybody else … it appears they have been having a reasonably rattling good time.

There’s tons of footage of New Yorkers celebrating and getting rowdy, however nothing too loopy it appears. A whole lot of this seems to be sanctioned by town, with NYPD officers throughout and even shaking palms with the attendees.
