Children all over the world believe in Santa Claus and the magic of Christmas. However, the majority of children outgrow this belief by their preteens, accepting that Santa is a story told to kids to keep them happy at Christmastime. Well, not this guy. This character still believes in Santa Claus well past the age children usually outgrow this belief (at least in their mid-to-late teens, some examples even involve grown adults). This is meant to mark them as innocent, childish, or even delusional in some way; it can also bolster existing Manchild/Kiddie Kid or Cloudcuckoolander characterization. They will often get made fun of for this belief, which may or may not lead to them moving past it over the course of the story. Other times an older person's belief in Santa is treated as an endearing quirk, especially if the true believer is someone you wouldn't expect to be one, like a Grumpy Old Man or a haughty Alpha Bitch. In this case, it could be a sign of Not So Above It All. Although Santa Claus is the most common figure to get this treatment, it can still apply to other prominent mythical figures of childhood, like the Tooth Fairy or the Easter Bunny. Can overlap with Santa's Existence Clause, where Santa is shown to be Real After All, validating the belief of someone (who may or may not be a child). May come up during a Christmas Episode. Compare Santa Ambiguity where Santa's existence is hinted but never really confirmed. Will often lead to a character getting Mistaken for Santa. Obviously Truth in Television, as just as many people in the real world believe in these figures, and for good reason, as there are reported incidents of the acts that are said to occur in regards to these figures still happening even if none of the adults in the home do them. |

Exaggerated in Trolls: The Beat Goes On!. In the episode "Marshtato Fairy", it's shown that, as a standard for Troll society, every Troll believes in their entire life about the existence of a titular Marshtato Fairy character, who is responsible for the supposed annual Marshtato harvest. The only Troll to have known the truth behind the myth thus far was Branch, but he decided to not tell it in order to avoid ruining the Trolls' life. | |

Justice League: When Martian Manhunter spends Christmas with the Kents, he learns that Superman (an otherwise mature superhero) genuinely believes Santa Claus is the one who wraps his presents in lead (so he can't see through them with X-Ray vision). This is an indicator of Clark's down-home wholesomeness as a person. Although, Clark might be justified considering the DC Animated Universe is as much of a Fantasy Kitchen Sink as its comic counterpart. | |

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer: Both Grandma Spankenheimer and her grandson, Jake, believe the big Christmas man is real despite the cynical nature of the rest of the family (the grandpa is implied to believe too, but his senility make it hard to tell). This ends up helping Jake find his grandmother since his letter to Santa the following year asking to find her shows Santa someone in Citiville still believes in him. And coincidentally enough, it allows them to finally put a name to said Grandmother who lost her memory after, well, Santa accidentally ran her over and Santa had to take her to the North Pole to treat her injuries. | |

Amelia Rules! has an issue where Amelia asks her Cool Aunt Tanner if Santa Claus is real or not. Amelia clarifies she wants to know because she has a friend (Pajamaman), who was exceedingly good last year but "didn't get any presents" from Santa (except for clothes and toiletries), so Amelia doesn't understand why. Tanner takes a different approach than most would expect, saying she does believe Santa exists, but her way of putting it is implying Santa is an identity, a form of good will and charity, that people are capable of taking on for themselves to help others. When Amelia receives a gift she knows Pajamaman wanted, she decides to give it to him in secret. Pajamaman only just catches a glimpse of Amelia leaving and believes Santa delivered the gift to him. When Amelia's told by her friends "There really is a Santa Claus," it makes her happier than she's felt in ages. | |

Arwin from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody is already a childish buffoon who still lives with his mother, so it's no surprise when he mistook a banging sound coming from the elevator note Zack and Cody were trapped in the elevator with a woman in labor and were banging for help for Santa Claus arriving. When he realizes his mistake, he claims he was "pretending for the kids". | |

The plot of the film involves Buddy trying to get the rest of the adult world to renew their belief in Santa. Justified, as one of Santa's elves is Buddy's adoptive father, so he knows for sure that Santa exists. | |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil: Mewni has a Christmas of another name in the form of “Stump Day,� with “The Great Stump� being their version of Santa Clause. Instead of delivering presents, however, the Great Stump will attack anyone who’s naughty. Star still believes that the Great Stump exists, even though many have told her it’s just an old wives tale. At the end of the episode, the Stump actually shows up to Marco’s party, since everyone there was bickering with each other. Thankfully, the Stump only attacks at on Stump Day, so once the clock reaches midnight, it will start to vanish. | |

In Little Women, when the March sisters are trying to figure out who provided the lavish Christmas feast they find waiting for them (it was Mr. Laurence), 13-year-old Beth guesses "Santa Claus" and 12-year-old Amy guesses "the fairies." This isn't played for laughs, though –- it just highlights the girls' innocence because the March parents believe in letting children be children as long as possible. | |

In Alluna and Brie, Max, who happens to be a ditzy idiot (if a really good cop), reveals that she still believes that Santa brings presents every Christmas Eve while trapped in a magic lamp over Christmas. When everyone else points out that Santa doesn't exist, Max is devastated. However, the sequel to Max's Big Bust: A Captain Nekorai Tale, which continues this story, reveals that Santa is indeed real, though not quite the same as the legend. | |

Lighting Candles: In the Rise of the Guardians/Big Hero 6 crossover fic: Jamie Bennett from the former film, now an old man, still believes in all of the Guardians (including Santa/North) and thus can still see them. Justified a bit, since the Guardians are real in this world and Jamie met them as a kid, but it only takes a little prompting for Jamie to believe in and see new guardian spirit Tadashi as well. This gives Tadashi hope that belief isn't age dependent and he can get his still-living grown-up friends to see him one day. College-aged Fred, while initially on the fence about the Guardians, is still a believer in the strange and unusual, which helps him catch onto the supernatural things a bit sooner in the sequel. |

Saturday Night Live: One sketch centers on a family that never has presents for Christmas because the parents (host Alec Baldwin and Janeane Garofalo) still believe in Santa and expect him to bring them. A police officer (Kevin Nealon) tries explaining the truth, but they think he's crazy and refuse to believe him. In one of the Bill Brasky sketches, a barfly claims that Brasky (a middle-aged man who served three tours in Vietnam) still believes in Santa and wants to put him in porno films. |

Justified in Spider-Boy. Bailey enthusiastically waves to the Santa in the Thanksgiving Day parade and seems to genuinely believe he's the real deal. Given that Bailey lives in the Marvel Universe, where living gods have been a publicly-known fact since long before he was born (he specifically calls Santa "like Thor and Hercules real"), it's quite understandable that a kid his age would retain a lack of skepticism on the subject. Especially since Santa is canonically real in the Marvel Universe. | |

In Danny Phantom, it's shown that Danny's father, Jack Fenton, is a firm believer of Santa despite being in his 40s. Unfortunately, his wife Maddie is such a facts and figures personnote despite believing in ghosts that it leads to the two of them arguing about Santa's existence every year. This unfortunately, has made every Christmas of Danny's young life miserable. | |

Played for laughs in Qi during the Season K Christmas episode, "Kris Kringle". In response to the question "Why is Santa off the Rich List?", Brendan O'Carroll stage-whispers, "He may not be real". The klaxon sounds with the text on the screen reading, "HE'S NOT REAL". Phil Jupitus stands up, faces the screen and drops to his knees, while Stephen Fry assures him, "That got a klaxon so it can't be right!" Phil then runs to Stephen, who gives him a hug. | |

The animated series incarnation of The Tick still believes in Santa. Part of the reason why "The Tick vs. Multiple Santa" lasts as long as it does is because The Tick can't bring himself hurt Multiple Santa and only does so when he's convinced that Multiple Santa is an impostor by the very real actual Santa Claus. | |

Beau finds this hilarious, and tells Mad Pierre, only to realise that Mad Pierre doesn't seem to find it funny at all. Beau then asks Pierre if he'd like to help feed the reindeer, resulting in the only time in the strip's history when the constantly scowling Pierre actualy smiles. | |

In the Friends episode "The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS", Phoebe (the kookiest of the titular friends) and Joey get into a debate about whether completely selfless good deeds exist or not, with Joey taking the side of them not existing. While making his point, he mentions "the deal with Santa Claus". Later, Phoebe follows up on that remark to make sure Joey meant that Santa Claus doesn't exist. After getting the confirmation, Phoebe spends a few moments staring wide-eyed into space. | |
