Santa Claus

Santa Claus is a Hardmode / Pre-Hardmode NPC vendor that arrives after the Frost Legion has been defeated, but only during the Christmas season (December 15–31), after which he dies.

Santa Claus can be spawned at other times by changing your computer's date setting December 15–31. Changing the time back to normal will cause him to die at the next sunrise.

Santa Claus will defend himself against nearby Enemies by throwing baubles.
