Your world has to replicate Santa and his sleigh as best as they can with whatever magic or technology they have access to. What do they do? (lemmy.ml)

The interdimensional Christmas bug is coming to town, and every world needs their own Santa. Doesn't matter if they have no idea what Santa or Christmas is, participation is mandatory and they need to use whatever exist in-universe to replicate Santa's flying sleigh as best as they can.

The following are some guidelines for what a prototypical Santa and sleigh would entail, your world needs to try and replicate as many of these elements as possible.

A fat bearded man or similar species dressed in all red.
A huge sack of toys or whatever the kids in your universe like.
A sleigh or another vehicle modified to resemble the classic shape of a sleigh, one that is capable of flight.
Eight flying reindeer or similar species strapped to the front of the sleigh.
One more flying reindeer or similar species up front with a glowing red nose.

Note that the reindeer don't actually have to be the ones pulling the sleigh through the air, you can choose any propulsion system you want as long as it looks like the reindeer are pulling it.

How does your world pull it off? Who would need to be called in and what kind of equipment acquired to do this? What unique conflicts does Santa face in your world that the "real" Santa wouldn't?

If your world is also conducive to other Christmas characters like Krampus, the Grinch, Frosty, Jesus, etc and you want to replicate them as well, we'd love to hear it!

In my fursona's world, Santa's a polar bear and the elves are, paradoxically, emperor penguins.

In actuality, that world's equivalent of the Coca-Cola company had more influence on the modern concept of Santa Claus. Or really Santa Claws as he's called. Like IRL, in my fursona's world Santa is a traditional legend.

However, to make Santa work...

You'd need a fat polar bear (easy to find, bears tend to be on the chonky side in my fursona's world) dressed in a red suit. Or green, the whole red suit design was Coca-Cola's idea, originally the jolly old elf wore green.
The sack is a bag of holding. In my fursona's world, magic is surprisingly common, just not relied on due to its fickle and unreliable nature.
The sleigh... I guess you could put a wing enchantment on one.
Toon or toonified reindeer that ignore gravity during the flight. Could also help resolve the whole "white tailed deer" situation with depictions of reindeer if they're basically a mix of the two in traits.
Rudolph was invented specifically for the song.
