Christmas is approaching, and Ford wants to bring in the jingles of the season with their successful ARCA Menards Series driver Frankie Muniz Jr. Being an actor-turned-racer makes it more fitting for the #30 Ford Mustang driver to showcase his alter-ego skills to the world. 

By these skills, we mean the Holiday Delivery License training that Santa has to go through every few years to be eligible to deliver gifts across the globe. This time, it’s Muniz who has taken charge of preparing Santa for adrenaline-filled Christmas present deliveries. Don’t believe us? We’ll explain it all.

Engine manufacturer Ford Performance shared a hilarious Christmas video on YouTube, wherein Santa can be seen undergoing a rigorous training regime to become fit for worldwide deliveries. Muniz starts by taking a crawling test of Santa, probably to check his sneaking prowess. Santa completed the task in 4 minutes 51 seconds, following which Muniz bashed him for his extremely slow maneuver and yelled, “Time, 4:51. Do you hear that Santa!? That’s the sound of millions of kids crying all around the world because you were too slow! Do it again!” 

Moreover, the Rette Jones Racing driver didn’t hold back and took a hilarious jibe at Santa and said, “Maybe Christmas needs to come December 31st because you’re too slow.” Muniz then took Santa through a series of training circuits. From drifting the Ford Mustang near chimneys for a smooth delivery and suggesting the 2000 HP Ford Supervan over single horsepower reindeer to lifting weights for gaining appropriate strength, Frankie Muniz Jr left no stone unturned.

Speaking of his role at the facility, Muniz said, “I’ve been a delivery coach at this facility for the last 10 years. Everybody thinks it’s all milk and cookies, but it’s not. You’ve got to stay sharp, you’ve got to know speed, and most importantly you’ve got to be tough.” The actor-turned-racer then unfurled why he’s not easy on Santa and said, “I’m tough on Santa because I freakin love Santa.” “I love Santa,” Junior reiterated.

The hilariously gut-wrenching regime that Santa went through to make sure he didn’t miss out on the timely delivery of the presents, bore fruits after all. After stern preparations, Santa’s face brimmed with confidence when he said “Piece of fruit cake” to the final and probably the most difficult test of getting the Holiday Delivery License]: racing at the facility. But when he came to know his rival, the Formula Drift racer Vaughn Gittin Jr., Santa was left in a state of shock for a moment.

Nevertheless, Santa and Gittin started the race in a Ford Mustang and a Ford Supervan, respectively. After a gripping race between the two, the Formula Drift racer breezed past Santa and won. Santa lost the race, but his performance was commendable, and he qualified for the Holiday Delivery License.
