The fight happened around 11 p.m. at the Rusty Gull Pub in Lonsdale. When police arrived they found one man with minor injuries after suffering from one of Santa’s haymakers.

“Patrols for Santa were negative,” said RCMP spokesman Cpl. Richard De Jong. “I guess they took off on their sleigh somewhere.

The victim was taken to Lions Gate Hospital and quickly released.

Neither Santa was found nor charged, and it’s still unknown why the fight occurred.

“Probably, the Christmas spirit got the best of them,” Cpl. De Jong said.
