Rock Stars & Santa Claus

Rock Stars & Santa Claus

December 18, 2018 (December 7, 2022) // Riot Fest

Musicians usually have some pretty eclectic wardrobes, and red looks good on most people. So it’s no surprise that some musicians like to dress up as Old St. Nick for Christmas.

So we made a list and checked it twice (aka, we googled some stuff) and made a little gallery of photos of musicians and other rock stars dressed as Santa Claus or just hanging out with Kris Kringle. Jimi Hendrix, Mr. T with Nancy Reagan, Dolly Parton, James Brown, Metallica, Prince, Jay-Z, Marilyn Manson, Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic, Alice Cooper, Frank Zappa, Freddie Mercury, Twisted Sister, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Jethro Tull, and more. Merry Christmas and Ho Ho Ho.
