Any excuse to get sloshed is a good one if you like to get sloshed to begin with.
Another popular in NYC is celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
In Mexico, it's
not a national holiday. It's important and noticed only in the Puebla state where the event it commemorates took place. (The event was the defeat of a French army by Mexican troops. It was the first time in some time that a French army
had been defeated.)
In NYC, it's an excuse for a Cinco de Mayo party at a bar, likely accompanied by drinking too much bad tequila.

Well now it is entirely possible that one of the "charities" that will benefit from this will be the LEOs.

I'm not quite sure the police think it's a benefit. They can probably think of things they'd rather be doing than herding Santas in need of direction.
The bars will certainly benefit. Money is money, and who cares if the patron is wearing a Santa suit? (There is a BBQ joint down the block from me that's a sports bar, and has windows that can be opened to the outside in decent weather. If I step outside, I can hear the celebrating Santas from here.)
