A legion of the UK’s hardest working Father Christmases were spotted strutting their stuff in red Speedos and sunnies on the iconic Santa Monica beach yesterday as they took a well-deserved holiday following an exhausting Christmas period. The Californian Christmas Day sunshine that at times hit 21 degrees, couldn’t come soon enough for the 20 handpicked Santas whose trip of a lifetime was revealed to be a gift from Virgin Holidays as the company declared its winter sale officially open.
