Quotes[edit | edit source]

  • "Ho ho ho, and a bottle of... Egg Nog!"
  • "What? You thought I wasn't real?"
  • "Care to bake me some cookies?"

During a PartyDesktop Version Console Version:

  • "Come now, you didn't think I only celebrated on Christmas did you?"

Tips[edit | edit source]

  • Christmas can be "activated" by setting the device's date to any date within the respective Christmas timespan.
    • Desktop version Change the computer's date to any day between December 15th and 31st.
    • Console version Disconnect from Xbox One Xbox Live / PS4 PSN and change the console time.
    • Mobile version Disconnect from automatic date/time updates and change the time manually. Note that this does not work for some devices.
    • 3DS version Go to "System Settings" and set the date there.
If a change of the device's time is undesired, applications like "RunAsDate" allow launching Terraria with a changed time and date.
  • Changing the time back to normal will cause him to die at the next sunrise.
    • If he is spawned in while it is not Christmas via TShock or similar third-party software, he will die instantly.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Santa Claus sells 39 items at one time, which is more than any other NPC excluding the post-Golem Tavernkeep, who has 40 items available at one time.
  • It is not possible to buy back items sold to this NPC since the last item slot cannot hold any sold items.
  • In the Console version Console version, he has a description in the housing section saying "A jolly old fellow".
  • "Ho ho ho, and a bottle of... Egg Nog!" is a reference to the fictional sea song Dead Man's Chest, originally from Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure novel Treasure Island which was first published in 1883. The song contains the verse "Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum".
    • The Pirate also makes this reference, saying, "Yo ho ho and a bottle of....blinkroots!"
  • He has the least number of possible names, having only one.
