Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Christmas video of an AI Santa sparked mixed reactions on social media. The video for “MAHA Santa” depicts a familiar figure dressed in red and white exercising to stay healthy and eventually refusing to eat a cookie and eating a carrot instead.
“MAHA Santa is coming to town,” Kennedy wrote. The AI-generated video begins with the words “Make Santa Healthy Again.” We then see the familiar scene of Santa eating cookies. But then Kennedy called me and said, “Let's give it a try” before starting the grueling workout.
Throughout the video, Santa appears to be getting slimmer. The story ends with Santa choosing carrots over cookies at Christmas.
What was the reaction on social media?
This video has piqued the interest of many people. Some exclaimed that they loved him, while others argued that Santa looked best in his traditional appearance.
“Please leave Santa alone. He's a wonderful person, including his looks,” one person posted. Another joked: “We didn't jack Santa Claus on the 2025 bingo card. But that's why we're here.”
A third said: “Secretary Kennedy, I'm sorry, but we'll all be healthy after Christmas. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.” A fourth person wrote: “Remember Santa, in moderation. An occasional cookie won't kill you. Eating cookies all day long will get you in trouble!”
What is Maha?
