In the 1992 Club Nintendo comic "[[Super Mario: Die Bescherung]]", Mario and his friends throw a Christmas party. Mario leaves the house and shortly afterwards a man dressed as Santa Claus, but otherwise resembling Mario, enters the house, most of the guests are expecting that it's Mario dressed as Santa Claus. However, in this moment Mario joins the party again, astonishing the skeptical guests.
 
A man looking almost exactly like Santa Claus in "Die Bescherung", appears in "[[Warios Weihnachtsmärchen]]". Here, however, [[Wario]] calls him Mario and he does not correct him, suggesting this is simply Mario dressed up.

Three years later, a man looking almost exactly as Santa Claus in "Die Bescherung", was seen in the comic "[[Warios Weihnachtsmärchen]]". However, [[Wario]] calls him Mario and he does not correct him, so in this comic it was just Mario dressed as Santa Claus.

In ''[[Super Mario: Wario no Mori]]'', Princess Peach anticipates Santa Claus's arrival on Christmas Eve. Mario tries to tell Peach that Santa is not real, but as she gets angry, the [[Mushroom King]] tells Mario that he did not have the strength to tell the truth. Using ''[[Mario Paint]]'' tools, they create Santa outfits, reindeer antlers for [[Yoshi]], and a flying sleigh. Overnight, they deliver presents and on Christmas morning, Peach shows the presents to her father and Mario. The King tries to explain, but Mario pleads him to tell the truth.

Mario tries to tell Peach that Santa is not real, but as she gets angry, the Mushroom King tells Mario that he did not have the strength to tell the truth. Using Mario Paint tools, they create Santa outfits, reindeer antlers for Yoshi, and a flying sleigh. Overnight, they deliver presents and on Christmas morning, Peach shows the presents to her father and Mario. The King tries to explain, but Mario pleads him to tell the truth.

In Paper Mario, if Mario chooses to sleep in the Toad House in Shiver City, he will occasionally wake up to find several Mushrooms and an Ultra Shroom in the Toad House. The Toad caretaker of the Toad House also mentions a wet floor inside the building, similar to melted snow, and asks Mario if someone has left gifts for him, suggesting Santa Claus.

If Mario talks to a Bandit on the East side of Rogueport in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the bandit claims that he saw "a guy jumping from roof to roof" and said he was "sneaking into chimneys".

Santa Claus is only referenced in the Mario & Luigi series. At one point in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Hermie III mistakes Mario for Santa Claus.[5] The Hollijolli Mayor in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time is a reference to Santa, being the mayor of the winter-themed Hollijolli Village and getting stuck in a chimney while wearing a red costume with a white beard.
