For some reason, the manufacturers of this radio-controlled indoor toy thought Santa was better suited in a helicopter, rather than the traditional sleigh and reindeer team.

R/C flying Santa micro helicopter with a handheld 3-channel remote. This lightweight toy has a single fixed rotor and stabilizer bar for fun short range flight.

The remote controller allows the helicopter to be flown and landed, hover in midair, and turn left or right. There is also a stabilizer bar on the helicopter that is controlled by the remote, so you can trim the flight and prevent flips and spins.

Here’s a video demonstration of the radio-controlled Santa:
