Hair-Swapping Santa Skits

The College Humor 'Twelve Beards of Christmas' Short is Holiday Hilarity

If you've ever wondered where the key Santa Clause qualities come from, after watching the College Humor 'Twelve Beards of Christmas' video, it's safe to say that Kris Kringle's festivity is hidden in his facial hair.

The sketch begins with an excited child tearing down the stairs in hopes to find Ol' Saint Nick, when he's greeted by the granola version of the holiday legend, rocking some pretty hippie face stubble. The scene replays itself replacing 'Soul Patch Santa' with the likes of gangster 'Pencil Beard Santa' or wise 'Fu Manchu Santa'. Each modified becomes increasingly funnier until the short abruptly finishes off with the weapon-wielding original Santa himself.

The College Humor 'Twelve Beards of Christmas' will keep you laughing and hoping that the tried-and-true Saint Nick never comes into contact with any reckless razors.
