The Norwegian Postal Service’s inclusivity-promoting commercial is spreading holiday cheer - and jeers - among the YouTube peanut gallery. A new holiday ad features a gay Santa Claus engaged in a kiss. The four-minute video, titled “When Harry Met Santa,” shows the shirtless titular character gazing lovingly as Saint Nick disappears up the chimney - an apparent twist on the Yuletide trope of a kid catching Kris Kringle on Christmas Eve. The clip is captioned, “In 2022, Norway marks 50 years of being able to love whoever we want.” “Posten is an inclusive workplace with great diversity,” the company’s marketing director Monica Solberg told LGBTQ Nation of the commercial, which commemorates 50 years since Norway decriminalized homosexuality. The ad, which features English subtitles, has amassed around 150,000 views - and hundreds of divided comments - since it was uploaded Monday to YouTube. The Norwegian Postal Service (Posten Norge) puts a ho-ho-homo twist on the classic carol “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” - with a new commercial depicting Kris Kringle as a gay man. He’s come down the chimney - and out of the closet.
