"SantaCon 2023: NYC Overwhelmed by Festive Bar Crawl Madness"

SantaCon 2023 brought merry madness to the streets of NYC as approximately 30,000 participants, dressed in festive costumes, gathered for the annual pub crawl. The event spanned from Times Square to the East Village, with crowds chanting and singing in celebration. Special guest Michael Bublé urged attendees to drink responsibly. Despite increased police presence and warnings against open containers, some participants faced tickets for disorderly conduct. While organizers claim that proceeds go to charity, a recent investigation revealed that only a fraction of the funds raised actually reached registered nonprofits.
