Honorable Mention: Delibird

I know what you’re thinking. Delibird is not your traditional Santa Claus and you’re right. Which is why it lands itself as an honorable mention.

Delibird’s Pokedex entry reads “It has a generous habit of sharing its food with people and Pokémon, so it’s always scrounging around for more food. “

Santa Claus comes down the chimney and eats your food, which already makes Delibird look better.

5. Shenmue

If you load up Shenmue on Dec 25. You’ll be treated a man named Santa Maeno who walks around Dobouita Street.

He doesn’t do much besides walking around dressed as Santa Claus, but it adds some great Christmas cheer and helps further build the world of Shenmue.

4. Hitman

In Hitman 2016 there was an update titled Holiday Hoarders. Taking place on the Paris map Agent 47 and find Santa Claus bouncing around between Christmas trees around the first floor.

2. World of Warcraft
