Upgraded Sleighs from Red Letter Days

The most iconic Santa’s sleigh for me is the one that features in ELF at the end, the rocket power boosted present delivery system that creates havoc in Central Park.

The folk at Red Letter days have had a go at reimagining this archetypal festive freight delivery system for five global brands, we’re loving the results. According to Larry Silverberg, a professor of mechanical and aerospace  engineering at North Carolina State University, it would take around six months for Santa to realistically travel the globe. Speed and aesthetics are a problem that Santa still faces in 2018 – so it’s time for Santa to trade in his old wooden ride for something new.

Dan Mountain, CEO at Red Letter Days said “In a festive spirit, we wanted to take a different look at the sleigh which has been traditionally depicted for many Christmases in the past. We wanted to take a new look at how Santa’s sleigh might be
designed by some of the world’s most loved brands. Take a look at some of the new concepts, I’m sure Santa would be happy to deliver presents to children all over the world in his new rides”.
