Now that the holidays are over, Mint Mobile spokesperson and actor Ryan Reynolds thinks Santa Claus is taking on some side gigs. In a new ad, Reynolds jokingly accuses a guy with a white beard and a cheerful attitude of looking a bit too much like Santa Claus. The other guy, claiming to be just a regular person named "Greg," defends himself, saying he didn't come on a reindeer but took a bus instead. Greg eventually becomes so annoyed that he storms off, leaving a smug Reynolds to close off the ad alone.
The ad aims to draw attention to Mint Mobile's latest offering, while playing off the post-holiday spirit in a fresh new way.
