This Christmas season, Fox & Friends treated viewers to something every patriot’s heart can love: a surprise visit from Santa Claus himself, complete with jolly anecdotes about sliding down chimneys and the tireless work of his reindeer. The clip was classic, wholesome television — the kind of family-friendly moment that reminds Americans what this holiday is supposed to feel like.
It’s worth saying plainly: moments like this matter because they stand in direct contrast to the cultural forces trying to strip meaning from our holidays. While coastal elites rebrand and sanitize traditions into bland, politically correct mush, Fox & Friends was doing what real broadcasters should do — celebrating faith, family, and festive cheer without apology.
Hosts checked in with Saint Nick after a long night of deliveries, and the exchange was charming, lighthearted, and a welcome break from endless political theatre. Viewers saw stocking stuffers, laughs, and a reminder that some things — like childhood wonder and family traditions — are worth defending.
This was not a one-off stunt; Fox News has long made the holidays a centerpiece of its morning programming, from tree lightings to Santa meet-and-greets at FOX Square that bring communities together. Those scenes are more than feel-good filler — they are a cultural anchor that push back against the left’s campaign to erase or reinvent our traditions.
Call it nostalgia if you like, but nostalgia for decency and faith is not a vice — it’s a virtue. Conservatives should be loud and proud about preserving spaces where kids can still believe in simple, joyful stories without being lectured about politics at every turn. If the left wants to mock holiday cheer, let them; the rest of us will keep singing carols and passing down family recipes.
Fox & Friends didn’t just offer a clip for clicks; they provided a reminder that media can still serve the public by uplifting what unites us. In a media landscape dominated by outrage machines and virtue-signaling pundits, the simple sight of Santa handing out stockings on morning television is an act of cultural resistance worth celebrating.
So here’s to Santa on the airwaves and to every broadcaster who remembers that the holidays are for families, faith, and fun. Americans who love their country and their traditions should take heart — our culture is not lost so long as there are shows willing to put joy first and propaganda second.
