SantaCon is notorious for causing citywide rampages as hordes of red-and-white clad St. Nicks — often inebriated ones — leave the comfort of their workshops to spread drunken public cheer.

Chris Lau captured the fight and uploaded it to YouTube under the title of "Santapocolypse." The fight reportedly occurred near Union Square in Manhattan, but details on the cause of the feud remain sketchy. It will be a Christmas miracle if any of these Santas receive anything other than coal in their stockings this year.
