But the big man had other ideas in mind for Thursday, December 26 with a spot of kitesurfing at Seaburn beach, Sunderland.

Our eagle-eyed photographer spotted Santa as he was mid-flight over the sea at Seaburn – and we can’t help but admire him for his action-packed hobby.

The countless mince pies snifters of sherry didn’t even slow him down!

Thanks for all of your hard work Santa, and well done to everyone taking part in 2019’s Boxing Day dip, which this year celebrated its 45th anniversary.
