About this listen
Look, I'm not gonna lie to you—Santa's having what we might charitably call a rough news cycle. And I mean, the guy's a fictional character, so theoretically he shouldn't be trending, but here we are.
So the big story making the rounds is that Santa basically whiffed on his most important performance metric this year. According to trading analysts at Maverick Trading, we didn't get a traditional Santa Claus Rally in the markets. You heard that right—in financial circles, there's literally something called the Santa Claus Rally, which is supposed to happen in those final days of December and first couple days of January. Historically there's about a seventy-eight percent chance of it happening. This year? Nothing. Completely ghosted the markets. Now look, I know what you're thinking—who cares about market rallies—but apparently financial traders do, and they're treating this like it's actually significant. The absence is being interpreted as a warning sign that January could be sluggish, which is funny because even fictional characters are now tied to economic anxiety.
And if that wasn't enough, Santa's also dealing with some absolutely unhinged AI-generated content disasters. According to Creative Bloq, there was this AI-generated Coca-Cola Christmas ad featuring Santa that became such a monstrosity they literally asked whether it was the worst billboard of twenty twenty-five. So the guy went from being a wholesome icon to accidentally starring in the kind of digital content that makes you question humanity's relationship with technology.
But wait, there's more weirdness. A state senator named Chris Garten from Indiana apparently created an AI-generated social media post depicting himself attacking Santa Claus. I genuinely don't know what the man was thinking, but it sparked enough backlash that he had to respond publicly to the criticism. So Santa's now being used in bizarre political social media theater, which is honestly just peak internet nonsense.
Look, the bottom line is that our fictional jolly friend is getting absolutely pummeled in the press and pop culture right now—economic failures, nightmare AI artwork, and being photoshopped into a senator's strange social media beef. It's not a great month to be Santa Claus, fictional or otherwise.
