The wife of Santa Claus in many stories. She's often portrayed as a kind, elderly matron who helps her husband and the elves in various ways, whether it's cooking delicious meals (possibly the reason given why Santa is so fat), or even helping supervise the toy factory. Her origins are as varied as those of her husband. For example, a first name is rarely ever mentioned, and if one is, no two stories agree on it (though it's quite common for people to jokingly claim it's Mary Christmas). Yet regardless of how she begins, she usually ends up as a Granny Classic. Usually she's short and plump like her husband, but sometimes she will be tall and thin for an Inversion of Chubby Mama, Skinny Papa. Her outfit is typically a red and white version of the classic granny dress. Sometimes the red is replaced with green, to complement her husband's outfit and complete the Christmas theme. Sometimes she will wear a Happy Holidays Dress, but almost never a Sexy Santa Dress (unless she is crossed with Silver Vixen). Still, ladies who are merely dressing as Mrs. Claus will often wear those dresses when paired with a guy dressed as Santa, especially a Mall Santa. Compare Cool Old Lady, Fairy Godmother. Examples |

Margaret from Arthur Christmas, whose husband Malcolm serves as the current Santa Claus. She's portrayed as a hyper-competent organizer who handles the political end of the Santa Claus operation (she mentions going over a "treaty with Greenland") and is skilled at just about every task she does thanks to taking numerous online courses. | |

She appears in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer as a vaguely European dark-haired woman who urges Santa to eat ("whoever heard of a skinny Santa?!"), and who criticizes him for not appreciating the elves' singing. | |

Appears in Sluggy Freelance. She takes over from Santa when he's infected by alien DNA, including battling Bun-Bun with twin Uzis. She is also taken hostage by Bun-Bun during the Holiday Wars arc, and eventually helps trick him into using the Deus Egg Machina. | |

As the story primarily takes place in Christmas Town, Mrs. Claus gets a slightly bigger role in The Nightmare Before Christmas: Zero's Journey than the original film. She helps with the Christmas Eve feast, and Santa toasts his gratitude to her. | |

Mrs. Claus is summonable item in both Scribblenauts games. While she doesn't give out presents like her husband, during the level in the first game where you have to "return the favor to Santa" (by giving him something he likes as a gift), she is a solution. D'aww. | |

Mrs. Kringle from Jingle Belle is a notable exception from the Granny Classic archetype (something which is occasionally lampshaded in the comic). She's an elf queen who prefers aristocratic garments to aprons. | |

In the Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas Special, Alvin has given away his prized "Golden Echo Harmonica" to a sick boy, and now needs to raise money for a replacement, so he can play it at Carnegie Hall. (He is afraid, incorrectly, that Dave will get mad at him if he finds out.) He fails, and is moping at the department store when a kindly old lady who is "very far from home" buys it for him, only asking for a song in return. The last scene reveals that she was actually Mrs. Claus. | |

Betty White also plays her in The Story of Santa Claus. Her name is Gretchen, and "Santa" is initially her pet name for her husband Nicholas Claus, because of his saintly kindness. A running theme throughout the special is that Nicholas, in his attempts to do good, keeps messing things up for them and others, but she stands by him regardless. She also advises Aurora, a brainy elf child who helps Santa in their mission, to appreciate Cloud Cuckoo Lander Clement, whose weird ideas help establish numerous Christmas traditions. | |

She's actually given an origin in Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town, one of the few specials that portrays Santa as a young man. Named Jessica, she's a Schoolmarm who initially supports Burgermeister Meisterburger's ban on toys, but quickly defrosts when Kris presents her with the china doll that she always wanted as a child. When he, the Kringles and the Winter Warlock are imprisoned she breaks them out (empowering the flying reindeer in the process) and goes on the run with them. | |

The Santa Clause reveals that there's also "The Mrs. Clause," a rule which requires Santa to have a wife within five years of getting the job. Somehow nobody remembers this until Scott only has a month left to marry or lose his powers. He winds up hitting it off with the principal of Charlie's school. | |

Peanuts: In one arc, Sally thinks that Santa Claus is a Mrs. Claus, named Samantha Claus. Charlie Brown teases Sally at one point, asking, "Does Samantha Claus say 'Ho, ho, ho,' or does she just smile daintily?" In another arc, after Sally asks Charlie Brown a lot of questions about Santa before writing her letter (like if he has a middle initial or a title) she decides she wants to write to Mrs. Claus instead of Santa, and Charlie Brown says that he thinks her name is "Mary Christmas". Sally is intrigued. |

In the Ultra Series, Mrs. Claus is the human disguised form for Mother of Ultra, also known as Ultrawoman Marie, a decorated war veteran and medical healer from a crystalline planet. While it at first just seems to be a disguise, she and her husband are revealed to really give out presents on Christmas while not fighting giant monsters. | |

In the 1966 Italian Christmas film Il natale che quasi non fu (aka The Christmas That Almost Wasn't), she's one of the film's main characters who joins her husband on his Christmas Eve delivery. She's later seen reading a letter Phineas T. Prune sent to Santa when he was a child wishing for a Sailboat for Christmas. The letter was accidentally misplaced and never processed causing Prune to develop a disdain for Christmas and children in general. | |
