Oxygen takes its new-ish focus on true crime and mashes it up with a favorite Christmas tradition—the stop-motion Christmas special starring Santa Claus.
In this take, created with help from Brooklyn-based stop-motion studio Mosomos, Santa’s got some explaining to do after a persistent cop stops him due to super-slow driving and finds something entirely unexpected in the trunk of his sleigh.
The Christmas campaign runs on Oxygen’s linear network as well as across its digital platforms and viewers who want to know what happens to our wayward Santa can follow @Oxygen on Instagram.
