Taking to Twitter on Monday, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) shared several images of Santa and said that he made his way to India to spread the Nordic Christmas cheer.

"To spread the Christmas cheer, Santa Claus is on a world tour and recently he flew all the way from Finland and landed at #MumbaiAirport," CSMIA wrote on Twitter.
