what about the galas we have in the summer in scotland, they always have people on moving floats down the high streets! i would think it was legal.
Last christmas we had Santa pushing Mrs Claus in a wheelbarrow down the street so if not could always try that. It was hilarious!

I am sure your local police can help you arrange suitable transport for santa be it on the van or otherwise. Always best to include the police anyway if your event is going to be using the roads. They may give you some of those wonderful PCO's to help your event along!!

The law is there for a reason. Have Santa ride in a convertible car or better yet, horse drawn wagon.
