Coca-Cola polar bear gives Santa a run for his money

When it comes to the Christmas season, chances are the person you will most likely get your picture taken with is Santa Claus.

However, there is another staple of the season that might give Santa a run for his money. For a number of years the Coca-Cola polar bears have played a big part in celebrating the holiday season, and this particular bear might become more popular than sitting on Santa’s lap this season.

In this video, the soda company’s holiday mascot takes pictures with fans and is just overall a joy to watch. As some fans noted in the comments, the bear has a muppet-like quality to his movements. He snaps perfect poses for the camera and even pets one of his human fans.

The video, posted last Monday, has already surpassed a half-million views.
