Our Yamaclaus Story

Welcome to Yamaclaus—the cheeky little corner of the internet where Santa’s pom-pom shakes hands with menorah light. We’re here to turn Chrismukkah into a full-on fashion moment, one delightfully quirky hat at a time.

How it all started

Flash back to 2013, San Francisco. Our founder — serial celebrator Alan Masarsky — looked around the holiday party circuit and thought, “Why are we choosing sides when we could double the fun?” So he stitched Santa’s classic red crown to a yarmulke silhouette, and Yamaclaus was born. The first prototypes sparked instant smiles, a couple of spit-takes, and a brand-new tradition.

What we stand for

We believe holidays are better shared. Yamaclaus is a love letter to interfaith families, best-friend gift swaps, and anyone who refuses to let their holiday spirit fit inside a single box. Slip it on at Christmas dinner, Hanukkah candle-lighting, or your office’s ugly-sweater showdown—this one-size-fits-all cap is a universal invite to the party.

Join the merriment

Whether you’re decking the halls, spinning the dreidel, or just hunting for the perfect conversation starter, pop on a Yamaclaus and watch the room light up.

Why choose one holiday when you can have both? Grab your Yamaclaus, gather your merry crew, and let’s make Chrismukkah magic together.
