Norway’s Posten unveils a gay Santa Claus
A few years back we had Mrs Claus making a memorable appearance in Y&R’s last ad for Marks & Spencer, now Norwegian postal service Posten has unveiled another side to the old boy’s private life in ‘When Harry Met Santa,’ – he’s gay.
From Oslo agency Pol.
Posten marketing director Monica Solberg says: “It has been a dark year for everyone – A global pandemic, code red for our planet, refugee crisis and more. Perhaps what we need this year is a warm and heartfelt love story? A celebration of the fact that we can love whomever we want in Norway, despite everything bad that happens around the world.”

50 years since homosexuality was decriminalised in Norway apparently.
