The annual SantaCon pub crawl has been canceled this year in the Big Apple due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Organizers announced the news on the event’s website.

“All of the reindeer got the ‘rona, so the elves have advised Santa to hold off on the in-person merriment,” the message read.

“There is no SantaCon NYC this year.”
