This is referencing one in which a Japanese department store, unfamiliar with American culture and Christianity, supposedly displayed a crucified Santa. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-04-21/how-the-iconography-of-easter-gets-lost-in-translation/11023774 https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/santa-cross/ https://www.truthorfiction.com/japan-santa-crucified-christmas-meme/
