Listen up, because Santa Claus really is coming to town – only he’s changed up his look and is now rocking a man-bun!

 

It was only a matter of time before it happened, but we can report this weekend that Hipster Santa is the latest phenomenon to rock his way onto the festive scene this year.

 

Clad in a retro cardigan and flannel shirt, his grey locks pulled back into a bun, with a pair of funky thick-rimmed glasses to read his ‘naughty’ and ‘nice’ lists, Hipster Santa has been cycling his way through Oregon, US to chat to excited little children.

 

 

Hipster Santa’s image is a far cry from the traditional one of the man in the big red suit, and naturally he has been grabbing plenty of attention - and some headlines, too, while he’s at it!

 

As you can imagine, Twitter has gone into a bit of a meltdown, and some of the reactions to Hipster Santa are absolutely priceless.

 

“Only in Portland! Mall hires Hipster Santa – comes with a man-bun and sweater inspired by The Dude,” wrote one amused tweeter.

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, not everyone is so impressed by the image shake-up, with another branding the development as “proof of approaching ‘end times’”!

 

We don’t know; it looks like the kids are having a ball with Hipster Santa!
