Santa was first introduced during the Christmas (v1.04) update. Once A festive hat is purchased, an icon will appear under the Big Cookie reflecting Santa's current level. It can then be upgraded until Santa reaches his final form.
Santa's level has little impact on the game, but every time he is upgraded, a random upgrade is unlocked. One of them is Santa's legacy which will grant an additive boost of 3% to your cookie production for each level of Santa, up to 45%.
Santa's upgrades can be quite useful so once getting the season switcher it is recommended to use Christmas first.
Santa Stages[]
Upgrades[]
Purchasing "A festive hat" or upgrading Santa's level to a stage that is not "Final Claus" will randomly unlock one of the other fourteen upgrades (excluding "Santa's dominion") below. Their price raises each time you upgrade Santa, starting with 2,525 cookies and tripling with every Santa level. Note that this also affects upgrades you unlocked previously but haven't purchased yet. Once Santa reaches his "Final Claus" form, "Santa's dominion" will be unlocked.
