Will Ferrell just upgraded Santa Claus into looking a bit gnarly.

On Wednesday's Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor showed up masquerading as a new, cooler, bad-ass Santa Claus. 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 of a jolly toy distributor and more of a SoCal movie agent who can't leave home without his Bluetooth. The new Santa sported a head of bleached surfer hair and carries around a humongous 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."

See the hilarious video below.
