We've been thinking a lot about what it must take to be Santa, especially since it's a job that you seem to be have to be born into because we never see any job listings for it. Surely, your traing starts pretty early on like when you're a baby. OMAIGA, baby Santa! Can you imagine how cute a baby Santa must be? We can because this line of thinking made us go looking for pictures of baby Santas and boy oh boy did we hit the jingle jackpot! A very merry jingle jackpot if we do say so ourselves. But don't worry, we're more than happy to share our joyful baby Santa jackpot with you.

First let us assure you that you are about to be hit with dose after dose of cuteness. It's a lot of cuteness to take in at once but we think you can handle it. In fact, we think it will give you life because that's what it did for us. If you want to really up the enjoyment, may we suggest making yourself some chocolate caliente to sip on while you scroll through all this merriness?
When your cheeks are too cute for a beard.
Why would anyone want to cover up those chubby cheeks? It wouldn't be right. I mean, we realize that babies can't grow beards, but if they could, we would suggest that this Santa always go for the clean-shaven look to show off those perfectly squeezable cheeks.
Sometimes being a baby Santa sucks.
No, no, no! That's not what we meant to say. What we meant to say is: Sometimes baby Santas suck on a pacifier. It helps soothe them. Later in life when Santa is all grown up a candy cane can be a great alternative.
Some baby Santas are too impatient to wait for nature to take its course.
For example, this little one could not wait for a gray beard to come naturally, so the kid asked the elves to knit one up. It does add an air of sophistication and dignity don't you think? Plus, it camouflages any drool that may or may not be going on.
Training must include all possible circumstances.
This cutie is understandably concerned about the risks involved in going down chimneys. But that's why Santas-in-training are schooled on the risks of going down smoking chimneys because where there's smoke, there's fire. That's when an alternate method of delivering presents needs to be used, hence UPS or the postal service.
“What do you mean I have to wear this hat?”
Someone's not a fan of the pointy hat. Can you blame him? Wearing a hat all the time takes some getting used to especially when you're just a baby. But that look on his face is so expressive. Someone snapped that pic at the perfect moment.
This baby is just fine with the hat but refuses to put on much of anything else.
We thing this baby is gonna catch a cold without a sueter, but apparently a hat, mittens, and knit chonies are enough. Maybe Santas run warmer than most or maybe this little one is just trying to build up a tolerance for cold. We aren't sure, but who are we to argue with someone who is this lovely?
The rarest of all creatures.
Meet the mythical Unicorn Santa. You can call her Santicorn and yes, girls can be Santa, too, get with the program! Can we talk about just how precious this child's face is especially with that custom hat on? OMAIGA!
Some baby Santas like to change the uniform up.
For example, this little darlin' prefers a tutu instead of the usual red velvet pants with white cuffs. And instead of accessorizing with a black belt and boots, she opts for shades to protect her eyes from the glare on snow. She's not sure what shoes she's going to wear though.
Twice is nice or twice as nice, take your pick
These two are totally #twinning Christmas. We've heard rumors that the North Pole manual always suggests having a spare Santa on hand because it's such a big job. Perhaps, this picture is proof that there's never just one Santa on the job or in training.
Is this further proof of our theory?
The theory that having two Santas is never a bad idea. Oh, you know we're making the whole thing up, but what we're not making up is how precious these twins look all dressed up for the season and laying under a Christmas tree.
Looks like someone needs a pep talk.
Being Santa is a big job for such a little baby. Here's what we would say to this cutie: "Give yourself a break! You're not even potty trained yet. In time it will all come naturally, for now just trust the process and remember that you are freakin' adorable!"
Check out this elf on a baby Santa!
Can you blame this elf for preferring a baby over a shelf? We can't. But other than being cute, it appears that this elf is trying to explain the whole elf on a shelf concept. It's part of training a baby Santa.
Wait a second?!
Are you telling us that Santa gets to be naughty? We're shocked! Perhaps, this photo was taken when this particular baby Santa was taking a break to blow off some steam. Or is it part of some kind of series of Santas behaving badly? Too funny!
Yes, reindeers get time off!
In case you're wondering reindeer get time off, not for Christmas, but they do get time off. They also have a great benefits package, but we won't get into that right now. Anyway, when the reindeer are not working and Santa needs to get around, a scooter is a great way to develop motor skills and practice balance.
Other times baby Santa uses a foot-powered car.
It's eco-friendly, and gets great mileage. Plus, the color is very on brand. The best part is the big red horn on the steering wheel. Baby Santas love to push that horn. Sometimes the parents of baby Santas aren't too thrilled by how often that horn is pressed, but oh well.
