What's the story behind Santa's dildo there?

It's some piece of art and the resemblance is intentional. Search for "Buttplug Gnome" to find out more.

LOL I thought you are joking, but it is actually called buttplug gnome: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus_(sculpture)

Officially the work represents Santa Claus holding a Christmas tree in his hands but the artist has implied that it could also represent a buttplug, and that "...For me, the sculpture is also about the consumer community - as a commentary on material consumption in the Western world."[3]

No idea, I've seen it in several different places. I think it's a stylised Christmas tree gone dildo..
