Hmmm...interesting....Easter Bunny, like Easter is a pagan invention, which predates Christianity. Santa Claus is something for the atheist people to put faith in so they have a purpose in celebrating Christmas, and it has it's own roots in paganism. The odd thing is, nowadays it's illegal to celebrate Christmas for Christ's sake...even though we all know that Christ was actually born around April or May. You could think of both of these as being things which society with the power of the anti-Christ has replaced Jesus with. The anti-Christs are already in the world.
Another answerer responded with these things equaling money making schemes...and not anti-Christ or antichristian ideologies...but if you know what the Bible says...the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Daniel's answer should be the one you pick for best answer...

The Easter Bunny is probably a pagan left-over. Santa Claus comes from Sinterklaas and other European holidays celebrated around the darkest time of year. That too probably has a pagan background. The way they are both celebrated today obviously does have a lot to do with commerce. I don't think it has anything to do with the anti-christ though.

Actually, no. These holidays were already in place when Constantine became a follower of Jesus Christ in the fourth century, making "Christianity" the state religion of the entire Roman Empire. In order to maintain the peace regarding the established pagan holidays (and only days off for servants), they 'Christianized' them, giving them different names and placing a religious meaning to each.
In the spiritual revolt against the established religion, the fictitious characters of the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus were created to divert attention away from God.

Easter Bunny & Santa Claus = money + commercialism--Not the Anti-Christ!!!
The Anti-Christ will be much more cunning, deceptive, and less obvious.

Easter Bunny may well be creepier if I observed him at night. nonetheless human beings have been arrested who appear like santa claus, with their long gray beards, candy, creepy van that they say is pushed by way of reindeers.
