A white Christmas, indeed.
Walmart has issued an apology for an “ugly” Christmas sweater that was recently featured on its Canadian website, as it appeared to depict Santa doing cocaine.
The adult-themed holiday sweater featured a deranged-looking Santa Claus holding what appears to be a straw in one of his outstretched hands, and sitting in front of three lines of a white substance, alongside some snowballs. The phrase “Let It Snow” is also printed near the bottom of the sweater.
To really drive home the point that Santa was engaging in an illicit act, the sweater — which was marketed on Walmart.ca under the third-party seller FUN Wear — was accompanied by an incredibly lengthy description stuffed with painfully overt nods to cocaine.
“We all know how snow works. It’s white, powdery and the best snow comes straight from South America. That’s bad news for jolly old St. Nick, who lives far away in the North Pole,” the product description read, according to a screenshot posted on Twitter.
“That’s why Santa really likes to take savor the moment when he gets his hands on some quality, grade A, Colombian snow.”
Walmart has since pulled the sweater from sale and issued an apology.
“These sweaters, sold by a third-party seller on Walmart.ca, do not represent Walmart’s values and have no place on our website,” a spokesperson told Fox News in a statement. “We have removed these products from our marketplace. We apologize for any unintended offense this may have caused.”
However, despite Walmart apologizing for the sweater due to alleged backlash, those on Twitter seemed more upset by its removal from the website.

It looks like he is snorting snow balls to me. Lol. Not a family friendly sweater.
The Walmart in Neptune has “adult” products on display. Lubes, toys..(and the toys are not called personal massagers either). etc.
So… Where do I get one of these?
Kate Peace are you asking for a friend? Lol
Nope asking for myself

Bre O’Neil wtf lol
some people have zero humor. so sad.
Kay Sie Lynn and some people have zero clue that this is very insensitive to many of us who have lost family members to addiction, so this is not humorous to most !!
Smh
Louise Mary O’Brien
Kay Sie Lynn if you’re family member died from drugs you wouldn’t be laughing. That’s HER point.
Shar Fry I’ve lost plenty of family to addiction. I can still find humor in things. It’s a sweater. You all need to take it down a few notches.
So let’s ban EVERYTHING that could possibly offend ANYONE…Jesus fucking christ the whole world doesn’t revolve around YOUR opinion….OCD (Obsessive Christmas disorder) offends people with OCD….calm the hell down and buy a sense of humor….maybe if people weren’t so goddamn uptight with their panties in a twist they could find humor in shit
I agree. Lost so many friends to heroin….and am a non practing alcoholic myself, but this shits HILLARIOUS. People do need to lighten the hell up. The world is too somber a place anymore.
Jeffrey Oelshlegel My condolences, and good vibes for a sober life. You are absolutely correct though, you have to find humor in the dark situations or you’re just gonna be a miserable human.
Kay Sie Lynn your Gif is very imature.
I just hope no one in your family every gets addicted or dies.
Anyone who pushes or sells drugs or thinks drug addiction or using is fun should be ashamed of themselves !
Kay Sie Lynn just go buy the sweater waste your money wear it out in public and let’s see how many people think its funny !!
Patrick Brennan there is absolutely no need for you to use such profanity and vulgarity in making your point.
Louise Mary O’Brien As I said before, I have plenty of family who have had the addiction and have also lost to it. As I ALSO said before, I can still find humor in the darkness. I’m sorry I’m not a miserable shit like you, I don’t know. I’d love to waste my money on the sweater, I’m sure it would get a few chuckles to make it worth the money. Unfortunately, I can not, thanks to people like you.
I said what I said, I’m not sorry for what I said, and if you don’t like it, take your sad little fingers and scroll on by. Or continue to play the personal pity card, don’t make me no nevermind.
Kay Sie Lynn no just irrelvant. Yes folks can have a very dark n twisted humor but do not be a dick about it
Louise Mary O’Brien legally nothing can happen to her if she wears it
Louise Mary O’Brien he cant help it. You know some were taught class. Some wouldn’t know class if they were in a school setting
Shar Fry well she can say what her point was… not you
Louise Mary O’Brien good to know no one has a say in a person’s humor nor does anyone have a right to judge others. Move along
Scott A Barnes Wasn’t being a dick, and if you don’t like it, you also can feel free to scroll past, byeee.

Lyn thanks, it was an inside joke.
this is a great shirt however it shouldn’t be sold at Walmart which is a family store that’s the only reason why see it would sell at spencers and hot topic I think it’s funny as hell but I just think it’s awkward because of people who go in there with their kids and then the kid asked what is Santa doing ????????????
Danny Perotti it was only available online
Lyn Gomez ohh soo why are they even worried about it then smh
Danny Perotti so many “offended” folks and too many fake offended in here. Is it a bit f’d up yeah. But so is the wannabe judgement of those who think their opinions on different types of humor matter
