Hot Santa has arrived, much to the delight of women everywhere. And while the words "hot" and "Santa" don't normally go hand in hand, modelicious Paul Mason definitely deserves the moniker.

The Yorkdale Shopping Mall in Toronto (in case you girls need to book your ticket pronto) decided to kick it up a notch this year with your not-so-ordinary mall Santa and hire a "Fashion Santa" as he is called, a chiseled male model with sex appeal, all for a very good cause, according to Ad Week. Each Hot Santa selfie shared on social media using the hashtag #YorkdaleFashionSanta has the Yorkdale Shopping Center pledging to donate $1, up to the maximum of $10,000, to the Sick Kids Foundation.

So steamy and for a good cause - rejoice, women, here is your next girls' night out destination. Al Roker even nicknamed Hot "Paul Mason" Santa as "The Most Interesting Santa in the World," according to New Republic.
Mason, 51, shedding the traditional synthetic Santa garb, wows in his velvet Ferragamo blazers, skinny jeans and fashion scarves, bringing Santa to the 21st century. And it's not his first time with this whole picture-taking thing, reports Mashable, as Mason has fronted modeling campaigns for DKNY, Dolce and Gabbana and was even on the cover of Australian Vogue, prior to this mall gig.
