Retro Cops Crash the Christmas Party at Vörösmarty Square!

Ho-ho-hold the chimney cake! Amid the snowy sparkle and mulled wine magic of Budapest’s Vörösmarty Square Christmas market—Europe’s festive fave for 2025—two dashing members of the Historical Police Squadron showed up with their tail-wagging K9 pal for the big safety press conference on December 2. Dressed in spot-on vintage uniforms that scream old-school Budapest charm, these fit and stunning officers had locals and tourists in stitches, turning a serious chat into the ultimate holiday photo op.

Who Wore It Better? The Fat Policeman Statue vs. Live Legends

Right nearby stands the beloved “Fat Policeman” statue on Zrínyi Street, that chubby bronze buddy with the shiny belly (rub it for luck, they say!) who’s been grinning at passersby since 2008. But these Historical Squadron stars? Total show-stealers—slim, sharp, and strutting like supermodels in the same era’s gear, complete with twirly mustaches and helmets that had everyone whispering, “Who wore it better?” The statue’s got the paunchy charm, but these live-action heroes owned the runway with their fit physiques and festive flair.

Selfie Madness: Kids, Tourists, and Locals Go Wild

The fun exploded when cameras came out—kids squealed and piled on for pics with the officers and their fluffy K9 sidekick, who posed like a pro with paws high and tail wagging overtime. Tourists from afar snapped away, locals joined the queue, and suddenly the market’s hottest spot wasn’t the gingerbread stall, but this merry band of time-traveling lawmen. Even the pup got in on the giggles, stealing hearts faster than a pickpocket in the crowd!

Safety with a Side of Santa-Level Fun

Who says crime prevention can’t be a barrel of laughs? These retro rescuers reminded everyone to zip up valuables while doling out high-fives and paw-some poses, proving Budapest’s cops blend history, hilarity, and holiday spirit like nowhere else. Next time you’re at Vörösmarty Square, hunt for the Historical Squadron—they might just make your Christmas snaps the envy of your feed! 🎄🐕‍🦺
