And as true Swiss Santas do, they triggered instant panic. Because everyone growing up in Switzerland knows the legend:

On December 6th, when the little bell rings, the Santiklaus is coming to your house. You recite a Versli (poem), he opens a giant black book, praises your good behavior, and calls you out on the bad.

And if you’ve really misbehaved? You get put into Santa’s bag and taken to the Black Forest. 😳🌲
Maybe that’s why so many of us jumped today when we heard the first Glöckli. Childhood trauma is real. 😅

Luckily, we didn’t have to memorize any poems this time — ChatGPT recited them for us to Santa. (Thanks, AI. You saved us.) 🙏

And no worries: no one ended up in the bag. Although… to be honest? The idea of being carried off to the Black Forest, known for good Spas, sounded oddly appealing to some of us.

👉 Conclusion: The surprise was a success, the snacks disappeared instantly — and we secretly hope the two Santas will return next year. Maybe with a slightly quieter bell. 🔔😉
