Barack Obama dressed as Santa to surprise kids at a children’s hospital

‘Tis the season to watch the former president of the United States be cute as hell, apparently.

Barack Obama spent Wednesday donning a Santa hat and spreading holiday cheer while handing out presents at Washington’s Children’s National hospital.

Footage shared by the hospital on Twitter shows an excited crowd singing carols, cheering for, and taking photos of Obama Claus in the hallway. The former POTUS greets patients with presents, dances into rooms, and even gives out some hugs.
