Daddy Kisses Santa Claus In Norwegian Postal Service Commercial
The Norwegian Postal Service (Posten Norge) turned heads with its new commercial for the post as they did a new version of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” The ad, which was shared to YouTube, depicts Santa as gay.
The commercial celebrates 50 years since Norway decriminalized homosexuality in the country. The story revolves around a day, Harry who meets Santa, and the commercial shows their relationship over the years and at the end of the video it wrote, “In 2022, it will be 50 years since it became legal to love whomever you want in Norway.”
“Posten is an inclusive workplace with great diversity,” the company’s marketing director Monica Solberg told LGBTQ Nation. “In 2022, Norway marks 50 years of being able to love whoever we want.”
“This year, Santa is happy that Norway Post can relieve him a little, so that he can be with the one he loves,” added Solberg.
While many praised the commercial, others on Youtube weren’t as pleased.
“Really, Santa is gay now? I must have missed the memo,” one said. “Little kid: Hey Santa, what did you bring me? Santa: Nothing, but I’m taking your dad away.”
