Lifeguard Santa with Lifebuoy Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07AM9-2-N01043C

Keep watch over a sunny Christmas with the Lifeguard Santa, a wooden nutcracker by Wizardi — Santa in a straw sun hat with a teal band, blue sunglasses and a fluffy white faux-fur beard, wearing a blue and white hibiscus shirt with red buttons. He holds a tropical drink with a straw and a little blue lifebuoy ring, with red shorts and flip-flops on a red base edged in gold.

A little collector's folklore: on beaches in the southern hemisphere lifeguards wear Santa hats on Christmas Day, and collectors say Santa takes a turn on the lifeguard tower once his rounds are done.

Why this nutcracker: if you love the beach or spend the holidays somewhere warm, he is a playful, summery Santa. At 15 inches he brings a holiday smile to a beach house, pool house or mantel.

In the box: one Lifeguard Santa nutcracker in painted wood with a straw hat, faux-fur beard, drink and lifebuoy, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Complete the beach crew with the Surf's Up Santa and the beach umbrella Santa (F07AM9-2-N01043A and B). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Coastal and tropical Christmas decor, and a fun gift for swimmers and beach lovers.
