The Fake Santa is a minor antagonist in Elf. He is played by Artie Lange in the film and is voiced by Jay Leno in Elf: Buddy's Musical Christmas. He is known as The Fake Santa #1 because he is the first fake Santa and the leader of the fake Santas in the special.

Role[]

The Fake Santa appeared at Gimbel's one morning and jubilantly greeted the children there, including Buddy. When Buddy come up to the Fake Santa, he could instantly tell that he wasn't the real Santa Claus. Buddy angrily told him that he sat on a throne of lies and he smelled like beef and cheese instead of Santa (as he has the smell of cookies and milk). The Fake Santa got increasingly angry with Buddy and tried to get him to stop, even angrily threatening him with murder in front of Paul, the first boy in line. When Buddy accidentally tore the fake Santa's beard off, the kids screamed in horror and then the Fake Santa violently got into a big fight with Buddy and angrily started smashing all the decorations, including the LEGO New York City. Wanda, the store manager, tackled the Fake Santa, saving Buddy, though the Fake Santa was fighting and pushing Wanda off whilst he was getting up with Buddy yelling; "He's not Santa!". The Fake Santa was presumably taken away, never to be seen again.
