Santa Claus is a traditional holiday figure representing Christmas good cheer and gift-giving, who is the best known (at least in modern times) mascot of Christmas, developed in the United States as an amalgam of Saint Nicholas and various other seasonal folk heroes, with many aspects provided by the classic poem A Visit from St. Nicholas. He is depicted in the title card for The Night Before Christmas. He physically first appeared in The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show episode Snowbrawl.
Santa makes a brief cameo in "Snowbrawl", flying in sleigh with his reindeers as Jerry rides in the sleigh with him.
In "Go with the Floe", he watches a dog-sled race between McWolf, Droopy and Dripple.
In "Ho Ho Horrors", Santa appears as an orament, and only states his catchphrase "Ho ho ho".
In "The Plight Before Christmas", he was turned into a cookie after Tom accidentally turned him into one, Beatie also attempted to eat him. Later, when Tom and Jerry learns the true meaning of Christmas, Santa is turned back to normal self as he gives Tom and Jerry gifts as he departs back in the chimney.
He also appears in "The Three Little Mice", despite it not being set around Christmastime.
