Santa

Santa was first introduced during the Christmas (v.1.04) 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 a boost of 3% to your cookie production for each level of Santa, up to 45%.

Upgrades

Purchasing "A festive hat" or upgrading Santa's level will randomly unlock one of the fourteen upgrades 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.

Notes

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 Upgrades which lower the cost of upgrades stack multiplicatively, not additively. That is, if you have 3 of them which reduce the cost of upgrades by 5%, 2% and 1% then the final cost of an upgrade is (original cost) * 0.95 * 0.98 * 0.99.

Trivia

Nick is a reference to Saint Nicholas, a predecessor of Santa Claus.
'Final Claus' is likely a play on the term 'Final Clause,' or a 'Clause of Purpose,' a dependent adverbial clause expressing purpose.
'Final Claus' is vaguely similar to the final boss of Kirby's Dream Land 3, Zero, or Vaati Transfigured from The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords.
The description of Santa's dominion is a reference to the Percy Bysshe Shelley poem "Ozymandias".
The description of Weighted Sleighs refers to Cervidae, the scientific name of the deer family.
The description of Weighted Sleighs may also reference to a popular Gabe Newell phrase: "Hopefully, it was worth the wait."
