A drunk Santa Claus and his blotto helper had to visit the hospital after their sleigh crashed in a busy high street in Ustrzykach Dolnych, Poland.
The inebriated 51-year-old Santa and the 31-year-old female helper, who were singing merrily and waving to the crowd, met with an accident after their horse was spooked by a beeping car and went crashing into a wall, Metro.co.uk reported.
The pair suffered from concussion and could face drunk-driving charges.
