Sinterklaas is a traditional Winter holiday figure in the Netherlands, Belgium, Aruba, Suriname and Netherlands Antilles, celebrated every year on Saint Nicholas' eve (December 5) or, in Belgium, on the morning of December 6th. The feast celebrates the name day of Saint Nicholas, patron saint of, among other things, children.
Here's a video shot a few days ago in New York City, where Sinterklaas made an impromptu Times Square appearance and was joined by a superhero.

Saint Nicholas also happens to be the patron saint of New York City.
