WATCH: Gigantic inflatable Santa goes rogue and holds up traffic

Santa

They made a real snowballs of this.

Oh deer. A massive inflatable Santa has broken free and threatened to sleigh every single motorist on a busy road in England.

OK, it wasn’t that serious but there was a ho ho hold up after drivers found themselves stuck in traffic when the giant inflatable Santa came loose and landed on the Cromwell Road in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire on Tuesday.

A traffic alert by the AA said the road was “partially blocked” and that there was “slow traffic due to a large inflatable Santa on B198 Cromwell Road both ways in Wisbech”.

Taxi driver Muhammad Fareed captured the footage and if you haven’t herd about this one yet, it really does snowball.

“It was massive, bigger than my seven-seater car,” he said.

The rogue Santa was apprehended at 5pm, three and a half hours later, according to traffic logs reported by Cambridgeshire Live.

The road has since reopened.

There’s no need to take a North Pole-oroid to capture the moment because it all unfolded below.

How Rude-olph! Enough to put the owners on the naughty list?

Take a look for yourself and see.
