It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and Santas have started popping up in malls, inviting young children to go and take a picture with them. And, honestly, some of them are really sweet, so much so that one would like to believe they’re the real deal.
Sometimes, however, Santas can be creepy as hell. We’ve collected the creepiest ones for your eyes only.
1. Alien Santa
Don’t get us wrong, it’s okay to be different- even extraterrestrially different- but this one looks a bit off!
2. Cheers, Mate!
This Santa here looks like he had a little too much eggnog the night before, right?
3. Weird
This one just looks weird- it’s the look on his face combined with the fake hair that look too fake. No wonder the little kid’s crying!
4. Happy To See You, Santa!
Well, this looks so wrong- and it’s not even Santa’s fault!
5. Evil Laughter
We can’t imagine how evel this Santa’s laughter sounds- it made both boys want to run away!
6. What On Earth!
This vintage Santa looks like a kidnapper more than anything else, don’t you agree?
7. Problems
We can spot two problems in this picture. First, what are the kids doing in the shopping cart? And, secondly, really, Santa? Is this the best smile you’ve got?
8. Terrifying Santa
The weirdest thing in this photo is that the boy is smiling! How is that even possible?
9. Ahah!
This Santa looks like he’s going places, not the innocent kind!
10. Help!
This guy didn’t even bother to wear his proper clothes- looks like he’s in his Pjs!
11. But, Why?
You would expect Santa to be much more fresh-looking, but then again, he’s been delivering places and going down chimneys all night!
12. Bathrobe
Apart from the fact that this Santa looks like he’s just gotten out of the bathroom, he didn’t even bother to cear fake eyebrows or white wig! So sad.
13. Eek!
The little boy is looking to escape, we’re sure! This Santa just doesn’t practically have a face!
14. Furious
Someone made Santa really angry- guess who’s not getting a present this year!
15. Here We Go Again!
Here’s another Santa whose face we cannot see because the beard and hair is all over the place!
16. Uh… How Do We Tell Him?
The boy’s expression says it all “How do we tell him we can see his shirt underneath the costume?”
17. Creepy Christmas
Why did they do this to this little boy? This Santa is so scary even an adult wouldn’t want to take a picture with him!
18. Nighty Night
Well, delivering presents all night can be really tiring- Santa can’t stay awake long.
19. Big Sister
How cute is this moment- big sister trying to comfort little sister who’s afraid of Santa- although this is not that creepy a Santa- we’ve seen far worse so far!
20. It’ll Soon Be Over
The boy is like “If I sit still for a second, they’ll take a picture and it will be over.” Hold on there little one!
21. Too Young
Wait- isn’t he too young to be Santa Clause? Other than that, he looks super creepy to us.
22. Quickly, Photographer!
This Santa, whose costume once more isn’t convincing and looks more like an elf’s costume, looks as if he’s telling the photographer to be quick so that he can let those two kids go.
23. Surprised
This Santa looks surprised- also his outfit is a little bot weird, but, whatever.
24. Funny
This Santa and baby combo is as scary as it’s funny! The whole costume is off and the baby’s hair is so matching her expression!
25. Faking It
Wow, this Santa is trying to fake a smile, but he can’t really hide his true feelings.
26. Santa Mummy
Man, doesn’t this Santa look like a mummy! Never mind, the angel at the front stole the show.
27. Sneaky Santa
Now, there’s two scenarios for this one: either the baby was scared and they decided to have Santa pose without the baby knowing, or Santa is really a creep and is sneaking up on this baby!
28. Bored Santa
This Santa looks extremely bored. Honestly, we wouldn’t want to sit on his lap.
29. Oh, No!
The baby on the right is like “Oh, no! This was a terrible idea!” And it probably was.
30. What’s Up, Buddy?
This looks like a hippie Santa, also like a drunk Santa at the same time for some reason.
31. Hipster Santa
Santa was hipster before it was cool! Maybe he should consider a beard trimming- right now it looks more like a wig.
32. Santa Pirate
Hey, Santa, what’s with the eye-patch? We can’t blame the little boy for being shocked!
33. That’s Mine!
Look at Santa’s hand- right, we agree he’s trying to steal the boy’s lollipop! Not cool.
34. Woah!
This one took “creepy” to a whole new level! The girl’s expression is priceless!
35. Oh, Well…
This Santa has been this situation over and over- he’s has enough of crying babies meeting Santa for the first time.
36. Terrible Choices
This one made two terrible choices. One, the eyeshadow color- obviously- and secondly, the handcuffs he gave the children!
37. It’s Your Fault!
Looks like this toddler is showing his mum and saying “It was you who said it would be fun. You liar!”
38. So. Scary.
We don’t exactly love this Santa mannequin. Let’s hope no kid sat on its lap.
39. So Punch Me By The Chimney Tonight
Is this for real? Can you see this Santa is about to punch the crying girl?
40. Santa Weirdo
We promise we can hear a creepy soundtrack playing- he must have escaped from a horror movie.
