Looks like Santa Claus is on the naughty list in Germany this year.

Police arrested a man dressed as Santa Claus at the Stralsund Christmas market on Monday for allegedly not showing his identification. The Santa Claus was part of a group of 65 people protesting anti-COVID measures in the country, according to Twitchy.

"The 47-year-old from Stralsund was obviously an actor in the gathering," local police wrote on social media. "He was not used as Santa Claus at the Christmas market there."
