Gammon
The quintessential example of white fragility, gammon was a term that came into the mainstream after a sea of portly white men were spotted on BBC Question Time getting very red in the face whenever Brexit and / or immigration came up as a topic. The term was quickly labelled as a racist slur and was criticised for poking fun at the truly oppressed group of white middle aged men who vote Tory and / or Leave, despite the fact its origin of use went back to Charles Dickens using the term in 1838 to describe a man of "gammon" complexion.
They're not red in the face, so, with just that photo as evidence - they're not gammons. HTH.
Pretty sure Druncker and a few others are demonstrating drink related flushing.Though the tax payer funded tan does hide it well.
Facial flushing is a sign of 'alcohol intolerance' - NHS

No we will stick with the traditional Father Christmas not that European muck Pere Noel or Sinterklaas.
