Not to be confused with Santa Pac.
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good chomp!" |
Santa Claus is a jolly man who gives presents to people on Christmas Eve. He appears in the television special, Christmas Comes to Pacland.
During the special, he is out in the night sky, delivering presents with the help of his reindeer. His sleigh crashes into Pac-Land after his reindeer get startled by the eyes of the Ghost Monsters after getting chomped. Upon gaining consciousness, he is confused as he had never heard of Pac-Land despite going around the world multiple times. Ms. Pac-Man then invites him and his reindeer inside for some Power Pellet Cocoa.
Pac-Man asks what he is behind schedule for, and Santa explains that he is late with his Christmas deliveries. With the Pac-People unaware of the holiday, Santa informs them that it is the season of giving, receiving, a time of peace on earth, and good will towards man. Santa then realizes his bag of toys fell from his sleigh during the crash, worrying as he has never missed a Christmas yet. Pac-Man assures him than he and his dog, Chomp-Chomp will find his lost bag of toys, with locals Morris and Officer O'Pac volunteering to fix his sleigh. Ms. Pac-Man also volunteers to make sure the reindeer are in good shape.
Later, Pac-Man returns in a frozen state, but Chomp-Chomp follows behind him with the bag of toys. However, it is too late, and Santa laments that he has missed his first Christmas, eventually stating even if his reindeer were jet-propelled, he could not make it in time. This gives Pac-Man an idea, and he drives off to a secret location shortly after.
The secret location is revealed to be the Power Pellet Forest, in which Santa is confused on how the Power Pellets are going to help him. Pac-Man says they are for the reindeer, and encourages them to eat some. The reindeer get a boost in energy, and Santa becomes hopeful that there is a chance Christmas can be saved after all. After taking off, Santa leaves presents to the residents of Pac-Land, as well as the Ghost Monsters for their good deed earlier in the special.
