It's 2016, so obviously Santa's sleigh has been replaced with a drone.
YouTuber turned CNN staffer Casey Neistat has wowed us plenty of times. He took us for a snowboarding ride through the streets of NYC. He showed us what it's like to fly in an ultra luxurious plane.
But this time Neistat took his love for drones a bit further by building a massive drone capable of lifting a full-grown man off the ground. Mostly he just used it to pull him on a snowboard.
Via Giphy"It's a drone. It's really a drone," Neistat can be heard yelling into his camera, shutting down the inevitable thousands that will inevitably call his stunt fake.
In the clip Neistat snowboards through a wintery wonderland at a ski resort, high-fiving tourists while the massive drone drags him along.

There you can also get a little closer shot of the massive drone, which apparently took nearly a year to build.
Credit: Neistat may have stopped his daily vlogging, but he's definitely not disappointing any of his 6 million YouTube subscribers. Unless they're bummed out by branded videos, because the clip was sponsored by Samsung and features its 360 camera a few times in the video, though this type of sponsorship is nothing new for Neistat.
A 360-degree video from Samsung of the event is set to launch sometime on Tuesday.
