Christmas is upon us, and whether or not you personally celebrate this present-giving tradition, you must admit there is something special about this time of year. With all the the lights, presents, and general holiday cheer, it seems like just about everybody is getting into the spirit of the season. 

And what better way to ring in Christmas than with a 1,000 horsepower Mustang burnout with old St. Nick at the wheel? Because that’s what we have for you in this next video.

Yup, it seems like Santa has traded in his sleigh and its eight (or nine, if you’re a Rudolph fan) reindeer for a 1,000 horsepower Saleen Mustang. With a big supercharger, big tires, and big horsepower, this new Saleen sleigh seems like a lot faster method of delivering gifts to the world’s good little boys and girls than some crusty old sled.

Though it seems Santa is only borrowing this Mustang from its owner, Billy Champlin, who apparently wants to remain in St. Nick’s good graces. Santa doesn’t mess around though, toasting those tires like they’re going out of style. Here’s hoping Santa brings billy a new set of slicks on Christmas Day.

We can’t think of a better way to ring in the holidays than with a Ho-ho-holeshot.
