One of South Africa’s most famous YouTubers, Dan Mace, has composed a Christmas carol with delivery drivers and motorbikes.

 

Cape Town, South Africa (11 December 2021) – Dan Mace isn’t letting travel bans and his delayed return to New York City mute his festive spirit.

The South African award-winning director and YouTuber has built an audience of close to 800,000 subscribers on the video platform, based on his remarkable ability to commercialise his creativity.

His Seeing Sounds series has seen him recreate The Weeknd’s ‘Blinding Lights’ with a physical brick, his ode to Justin Bieber’s ‘Peaches’ was constructed with – you guessed it – actual peaches, and now he’s revving up the Festive Season with a remake of ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’… with delivery drivers and motorbikes.

Watch the video here:

 

Mace loved the idea that the Sixty60 drivers would be dressing up in Santa outfits this holiday season and wanted to do something to celebrate them.

“When I heard Sixty60’s drivers were going to be dressed as Santa, I jumped at the opportunity to celebrate these heroes. These drivers have helped us get through all levels of lockdown, and next week they’re going above and beyond to deliver festive cheer this Christmas.”

He continues, “I hope my remake of ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’, using drivers and motorbikes, puts a smile on the faces of South Africans, who need it most, at the end of another crazy year.”

It seems the festive cheer is catching on as Uber, Pick n Pay, Woolies Dash and Checkers Sixty60 drivers are all dressing up as Santa as they deliver groceries and festive joy to South Africans this holiday season.
