===Between ''Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II''===

Six years prior to the Heartless' invasion of the Destiny Islands, [[Sora]] was convinced by [[Riku]] not to believe in Santa Claus and went around informing the rest of the island's citizens of this fact. However, while Sora did not remember the incident afterwards, Santa did, to the point where Sora was not in the nice list.  

When Sora, [[Donald]], and [[Goofy]] first visit Christmas Town, they meet Santa, something Sora is overjoyed by. At Santa's house, Sora is reminded of the time he announced his disbelief of Santa, but Santa reassures Donald and Goofy that they are still on the nice list.

Later, Santa is kidnapped by [[Oogie Boogie]] at [[Maleficent]]'s request. Maleficent plans on turning Santa Claus into a [[Heartless]]. When Santa is captured, [[Sally]] saves Santa from Oogie Boogie. When Sora defeats Oogie Boogie, Santa tells Jack that he should concentrate on Halloween, and Santa should concentrate on Christmas. Before the group leaves, Santa recalls that Riku may have been the one who convinced Sora not to believe, but professes his belief that the two friends will reunite someday.

During Sora's second visit, Santa's presents get stolen by [[Dr. Finkelstein|Dr. Finkelstein's]] [[The Experiment|Experiment]]. He helps Jack make decoy presents to attract the Experiment. Jack and company get them back by hiding in a decoy present. After they defeat the Experiment, Santa Claus decides to give Jack a taste of what it's like to deliver Christmas presents. When Jack finishes delivering presents, Santa takes back his sleigh and brings forth beautiful snow drops as a present to those in Halloween Town.

==Appearance==

Santa Claus is a very fat man dressed in a faded red, white fur-lined coat closed with a darker red belt. His very tiny hands are covered by black gloves that also have white fur lining. His feet and legs, though usually hidden by his coat, are even smaller than his hands, and covered by black boots. His hat is also red and lined with white fur, and ends in a white fur ball. The hat itself is quite long and thin. Santa has white hair and eyebrows, and a very long, thick beard that nearly reaches the floor. His cheeks and bulbous nose are faintly pink, as are his lips.

Santa is jolly, fun, caring, and good individual who adores children. As evidenced by his Good/Bad children list, he is also wise, fair and thoughtful. However, when he deals with Halloween Town, he becomes much more serious, and is strict with his duties when it comes to Christmas.

Santa Claus originates in Tim Burton's Disney 1993 film ''{{w|The Nightmare Before Christmas}}''. In the film, Jack orders Lock, Shock, and Barrel to kidnap Santa Claus so that Jack can take over Christmas. However, instead of taking Santa to their lair as Jack requested, the trio brings him to Oogie Boogie. Sally, who doesn't like Jack's idea of taking over Christmas, is worried about Santa and wants to save him, but ends up being captured by Oogie Boogie as well. Later, Jack hurries back to Halloween Town to save Santa and Sally. After Oogie Boogie is defeated, Jack apologizes to Santa, who then leaves to fix Christmas. He flies around the world and delivers real presents to the all the children. He and Jack also wish each other Merry Christmas and Happy Halloween as Santa brings snow to the Halloween Town.
