Who’s your favorite version of Santa Claus of all time from a movie or TV show? 🎅🕯🎄Drop your pick below - I KNOW you’ve got one! ✨ This video was a massive undertaking, so I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching! 🎄

[@OmarAvilesCreative]

A big favorite for me is the miracle on 34th street one with Natalie wood. The bubbles gum scene is Genius 🎉

[@MystikManor]

@OmarAvilesCreative Absolute classic scene! Thank you for sharing!

[@The4Horsemen421]

David Harbour in Violent Night is my favorite Santa Claus!

[@Hocuspocusbfc]

​@@The4Horsemen421 Omg YESSS, David Harbour as Santa is unhinged in the BEST way. That sledgehammer scene though. I feel like I was in a chaotic Christmas fever dream but I'm not mad about it.😂

[@bearstarpresents2264]

I grew up deeeeeeeeep in the back woods where I had to get on the bus at 5 am for the 4 hour bus ride through the mountain one lane dirt “roads”for school. Bears hibernating under porches type of boonies. Life and Adventures of Santa Claus with the Great Ak and forest spirits was more real to me at 5 years old than any ridiculous ‘One foot in front of the other’. After I moved from a place where the legally listed population of 200 people wasn’t half filled with illegally claimed pets on taxes, I have yet to meet a single person in 30 years that has ever heard of that movie when I mention it.

[@Chronicallynocturnal]

I absolutely loved it. Reminds me of everything from my childhood. Life goes by so fast but you are still that child inside well done.♥️

[@SimminWinnin]

what was your childhood like that so many pagan references of scary tales make you nostalgic?

[@SkyhySusie]

Did anyone else know that Thor’s dad was connected to Santa Claus? I can’t believe Marvel conveniently left that out!

Christmas series!!! ❤ Such a comprehensive video, thank you, love this. Okay, obviously Tim Allen's Santa Claus is iconic, but hear me out....Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa, kind of epic?

[@Quarks_Bar]

The Netherlands really loves them their Sinterklaas Christmas Season. They're more fanatical about it than Americans are.

[@ilse3887]

ps: and i can garanty that when it comes to christmas ..it is the amercians that are way more fanatic about it...sure..we decorate..put up lights..but nothing as extravigant and over the top as the americans do!! no giant blowup santa's on the rooftops..hardly any light reindeers in the front gardens..our christmas trees are decorated a lot more modest..so i do not where you get your infornation from..but as a dutch citizen i can tell you..we dutch have a saying..."act normal..that is crazy enough!!" so when it comes to fanatic christmas behaviour/ traditions...the americans take first prize!!

[@JKRavenBlood]

Also.. St. Nicholas is celebrated at 5th December, 6th if you live in Germany.

[@sjefkerolleman2094]

Who gives a rat's ass?!

[@sharonpopolow6874]

Yeah, sounds about right...

[@mousemd]

At first, it was about the Christian (Catholic) Church gaining converts, so they would adopt what the locals were doing and try to make it more biblical. Today, it is all about corporations making a buck from it. I guess Christians just wish to remain blissfully ignorant. I left the church when I learned all the lies they continue to spew out. Not really wanting to know the roots of what the Bible really says.

[@mousemd]

I have studied the tanakh. (Where they get the Bible from. ) He wasn't even born at this time. The 25th of Kislev (a winter month) is the start of chanukah. That was when the annunciation was made. Nine months later, there is a Holy Day called sukkoth. The tanakh tells about what happened that will be fulfilled in the future. It's just that this timeline makes more sense to me

[@jessespencer1019]

Just think, the origins of Valentine's day is demons and incest

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

Rankin-Bass' stop-motion Christmas specials, the 1947 movie "Miracle on 34th Street", and 1985 "Santa Claus: The Movie" are among my fave Santa/Christmas movies

[@Reindeer911]

Agreed... I'm surprised the Rankin/Bass productions weren't discussed since they did a lot to help define the modern legends. Specifically "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town".

[@JK-cs1be]

I can't believe that those puppets are 300k plus

[@Rebecca-d7b]

I think I like that one in Germany that likes to feast drink and party the best. That's how my family still does it.

[@The4Horsemen421]

Violent Night has a great Santa Claus origins scene in it that ties into Norse mythology!

[@Hocuspocusbfc]

@The4Horsemen421 The Skullcrusher! I kinda want to rewatch it now just to catch all the Norse connections now that I'm in the know and all.

[@kryptonianpowers]

You missed something about Santa Claus's media depiction in the early 20th Century. He was given a new mythos by L. Frank Baum, the author of *The Wizard of Oz* stories in a story called The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus where he was a mortal raised in an enchanted forest by immortal creatures before becoming what he is usually depicted as and would eventually be granted immortality near the end of the story.

[@amandalasher5769]

I remember that it was a stop motion cartoon. Was a good rendition

[@merrihalma]

I prefer Krampus because the area I live in has Krampus events. And I see it as a fun way to celebrate a little wickedness with all the jolly, holly and holiday season.

[@JK-cs1be]

I've heard it don't matter your age your not safe from krampus

[@GloriaJWimberley]

❄️🎀❄️Interesting ❄️

[@CDB-Fiery-Aries]

Hiya, from a fantasy storyteller to a fantastic mystical storyteller. Love your Christmas Carol story, very informative. As far as my preferred Santas, it's Richard Attenborough as Kris Kringle in the Miracle on 34th Street; then Tim Allen in The Santa Clause Trilogy and recently, Kurt Russell in the two Santa's Chronicles.

[@christopheraliaga-kelly6254]

I remember a striking medieval painting, showing a stern St Nicholas, in full bishop's dress reading from a bible held by a terrified devil acting as a 'living' lectern!

David Huddleston.. "Santa Claus the Movie!!"

[@garrettedwardspears]

The board game known as Final Girl made Mrs. Claus a payable character. Her backstory is awesome. Buy the games and check out her backstory. It's awesome.

[@christopheraliaga-kelly6254]

Don't forget Bill Watt3rson's withering comment, through Calvin, of course. Listening to 'Santa Claus is coming to Town', he switches off the radio and snorts: 'So, Santa Claus? Cuddly old elf or CIA spook!?'

[@nadinesawtell3267]

Our image of Santa comes from the poem the Night before Christmas by Moore It was commercialized by the various companies. It was blended with the English belief of Father Christmas and Saint Nicholas as the 12 night celebrations faded

[@raytv369]

Santa means saint and Claus is a nickname for Nicholas. He was Saint Nicholas all along.

[@dyduncalf106]

Bad Santa - Billy Bob Thornton - Awesome

[@bobbymartin883]

It’s a three way tie between Tim Allen miracle and the one from red one with the one from violent night coming in close second

[@Quarks_Bar]

Saint Nicholas, upon whom Santa Claus was largely derived, existed his entire life LIVING the final phase of the Fall of Rome. I would imagine that was a time of Great Hardship for MUCH of the Mediterranean World. Nicholas lived his whole life helping others to cope with the Fall of Rome. That was a pretty special dude, considering how Monumental his Task was. 6:46 This part right here, they obviously cribbed from Jesus Christ's Miracle of Walking On Water. Right Here: Matthew Chapter 14, Verses 22 - 33

[@angelaelisabethgunnarsson1041]

Well in som contries and sweden and other Europan contries too. We believed in Nicholas. That was a Nice person who actually gave gift to people. But from the beginning had nothing to do with christmas. Fine If they want to refer that oden and northern myths. I would say no to that. Im scandinavian so I say its wrong. Santa Claus comes more accurate from crampus. A german believe. Actually before Santa Claus in scandinavian we had a ram, That came with gifts.

[@flyhouseoftruth470]

Now is the solstice of the year Winter is the glad song that you hear Seven maids move in seven time Have the lads up ready in a line Ring out these bells Ring out, ring solstice bells Ring solstice bells Join together 'neath the mistletoe, By the holy oak whereon it grows Seven druids dance in seven time Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming Ring out these bells Ring out, ring solstice bells Ring solstice bells Ring out, ring out the solstice bells Ring out, ring out the solstice bells Praise be to the distant sister sun, Joyful as the silver planets run Seven maids move in seven time Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming Ring out these bells Ring out, ring solstice bells

[@jesusperez8394]

You talk about how coke solidified the modern Santa. But that was 100 years ago. Where's the millennial Santa? The Action/Adventure Santa? The Santa that gives out toys and butt whoopins. Great vid, by the way.

Santa Claus predates Coca Cola, Sinta Klaas in the Netherlands wore a red cloak. Father Christmas, a different person to Santa Claus, in the U.K. wore a green cloak and probably predates Christmas as a pagan tradition.
