The annual New York pub crawl, called 'SantaCon' saw 600 Santas getting drunk at the event.
The festival celebrated by hundreds of revellers dressed as the red-suited man, caused a lot of trouble as there were brawls, public urination and drunk Santas overrunning the streets, News.co.au reported.
The event, which was started to donate money to charities and bestowing gifts on passer-bys, has become an uncontrollable mess.
However, the event's website had earlier claimed that they were cleaning up Santa's act this year.
