Whoa, Santa Claus is looking a bit gnarly lately.

On Wednesday's Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell showed up masquerading as a new, cooler take on St. Nick. Naturally, the funnyman and star of the soon-to-be-released comedy Daddy's Home fully committed to the role.

These days, Santa is apparently less jolly toy distributor and more SoCal movie agent who can't leave home without his Bluetooth, sports a head of bleached surfer hair, and carries around a humungo t-shirt gun.

Some stand-out "Hip Santa" phrases to enjoy: "I'm gonna make it snow up in this B," "Case Claused," and "Noiiiice."
