My guess is that it was a reenactment for Christmas.

Also, this is a photo of one camel, so your headline is inaccurate.

flopster63: That was my initial thought.
Louise: You clearly doctored that video with some sort of computer graphics wizardry!
And … there’s actually a herd of camels. They’re all off camera buying hash brownies. Sure, that’s it.

My first time in Amsterdam was more than 20 years ago, I was on my way home form a visit to Spain. I stayed for 3 days and it snowed the first night. It was ghastly. No one shoveled and it was frozen in clumps that made walking difficult if not impossible.
The Dutch woman that managed the guest house I stayed in said it was the first time they had had measurable snow accumulation in years.
Needless to say there were no super-imposed camels.
