Postal Service Ad Featuring Dad Kissing Santa Begs Question ‘Just How Gay Is St. Nick?’ (Or Your Father For That Matter)

Perhaps you’ve always suspected that Santa was gay. If there was any doubt in your mind, a new Norwegian postal service ad will put that debate to, um, bed. That’s because the spot, titled “When Harry Met Santa,” features Santa and a man sharing a passionate kiss.

In the clip, which is a twist on the classic Christmas carol “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” a bare-chested, pajama pants-clad guy happens upon a grizzled, gray-haired Santa in his living room. Sparks fly, but so does Santa, and Harry has to wait a whole year to see his Kris Kringle crush again.

Harry pens a letter to Mr. Claus that reads: “All I want for Christmas is you.” Well, ask and you shall receive. On Christmas Eve, when the two old dudes finally reunite, things gets steamy.

Aside from being provocative, the commercial celebrates the 50-year anniversary of Norway decriminalizing homosexuality.

But try telling that to YouTube commenters, who mostly saw the ad as an excuse for a punning spree.

“This certainly brings a new meaning to ‘Stocking Stuffer!’” one wrote.

“Every year he came down the chimney but this special year was special so he came in the back door,” another quipped.

“Santa will be Emptying his sack all over the floor,” a third offered.

“Is that a candy cane in your pocket or..” someone else joked.

Puns aside, we’re all for inclusivity, diversity, and changing up the Christmas story.

To Santa, all we have to say is: Go on with your bad self, big guy. You do you. See you on the naughty list!
