Man dressed as 'santa' traveling around Cardiff with Christmas music playing from his car

It has been a tough year, and maybe some of us are just waiting for Christmas and for 2021 to start.

In fact it may only be August but Christmas has come early on College Road in Llandaff North, Cardiff.

Santa Claus and his sleigh could be seen and heard blasting festive music on Wednesday afternoon - much to the surprise of onlookers.

The footage, captured by Essex Havard shows a man dressed as Santa waving at people in the street while being dragged along by a car.

Cars can also be heard beeping their horns while 'Jingle Bell Rock' played in the background.

Talking about the bizarre moment, Mr Havard said that he could hear Christmas music for an hour before he spotted Santa himself.

"I was wondering what it was, I was outside with my mate working on my van and the music got really loud and we saw Santa and a sleigh coming down the street, totally bizarre.

"I have no idea what it is about or who done it.

"It happened about 3:30PM, It's crazy, someone said that he has been doing it to cheer people up," the 54-year-old said.
