A Santa Claus for a new generation may not look like himself - or possibly herself - at all.

A survey of 4,000 people in the United States and United Kingdom by graphic design company GraphicSprings asked respondents what a "re-branded" Santa would be like.

More than 29 percent of Americans who answered the survey said they thought 2018 Santa would be female (10.6%) or gender neutral (18.6%). The UK response was similar.

Among other popular changes, voters thought the new Santa would have an iPhone (9.2%) and wear sneakers (8.3%) as he traveled in his flying (13.8%) or electric car (10%).

And forget the elves: 16.5% of survey respondents said Santa should use Amazon Prime to fulfill the wishes of children around the globe.

The new-look St. Nick would also be a tattooed (7.35%) beer drinker (6.2%) with a new haircut and a better diet.

While the dream of a different Santa is a fun one to envision, more than 70 percent of those surveyed prefer him just the way he is
