What do people in Europe call Santa Claus?

Answer 1

Santa Claus is one of those nearly-universal Christmas icons, although he goes by a different name in many countries.

• In England, for example, he is called "Father Christmas."
• In Brazil, he is called "Papai Noel."
• In France, "Père Noël."
• In Germany, "Der Weihnachtsmann."
• In Belgium, he is "Sinterklaas."

In some countries, Santa Claus brings gifts on Christmas Eve.

• In Finland, for example, one family member usually dresses up like Father Christmas and distributes presents to the children.
• In Germany, 'Der Weihnachtsmann' brings Christmas presents on Christmas Eve day, often when the family has gone to church.
• In Hungary, Santa comes on December 6th and deposits candies or small toys into the children's' shoes.
