In 2006, Sienna Miller met up with a special Santa to unveil the Fifth Avenue Cartier Maison's traditional holiday decor. The world's most famous St. Nick doppelganger, known as Santa to the Stars, has worked with the famed jeweler for more than 20 years, bringing holiday cheer to such visiting luminaries as Madonna, Rachel Weisz and Uma Thurman. Part of what sets this Santa apart is his bling: a double-C logo belt, a signature watch and round-framed specs, all from the Cartier line.

Also in 2006, Jewel took a sleigh ride with Santa in New York’s Herald Square for MasterCard’s Home for the Holidays sweepstakes. The singer kicked off the contest-which features two houses as its prizes-with an acoustic concert. The white-clad Alaskan sang her hits on a dais of faux snow (the day being too unseasonably warm to provide the real thing); she was backed by a string section and a Christmas tree.
