Stranded Santa Saved By RNLI

Tuesday, 8 December 2020 07:00

RNLI Jersey was forced into a Christmas rescue mission after a man dressed in red called for help!

Both St Helier lifeboats launched to help the stranded Santa to safety after he fell out of his sleigh during a routine test flight.

After calling the Coastguard for help, the RNLI sprung into action to make sure Santa could deliver presents to islanders this Christmas.

The special video has been released by the charity to say thank you and wish islanders a Merry Christmas.
