00:00Welcome to Santa's Workshop TV, where Christmas cheer is made right here.
00:06Have you ever wondered how my sleigh, Santa's sleigh, looks around the world?
00:11Let's take a magical ride across countries and cultures to see how Santa and his sleigh are imagined everywhere.
00:20In the United States, Santa's sleigh is bright red, packed with toys, and pulled through the night sky by nine flying reindeer.
00:28With Rudolph leading the way.
00:31In the United Kingdom, Father Christmas often rides in a sleigh too, but sometimes he wears a long green robe, bringing gifts through snowy villages in old English style.
00:43In Finland, Santa is known as Yolipuki.
00:46He travels in a rustic wooden sleigh pulled by strong reindeer, gliding through snowy pine forests under the northern lights.
00:55In Russia, Dead Morrows, or Grandfather Frost, rides in a sleigh called a Troika, pulled by three horses racing across the snowy countryside.
01:07In Germany and Austria, Santa, or the Weinachsman, often arrives in a simple wooden sleigh pulled by horses, bringing Christmas cheer to mountain villages.
01:18In Italy, there's a twist.
01:22The Bafana, a kind old woman, brings gifts on her broomstick.
01:27Sometimes Santa appears too, riding in a donkey-pulled sleigh.
01:31In the Netherlands and Belgium, Sinner Clause doesn't need a sleigh at all.
01:36He rides a white horse across the rooftops, leaving gifts for children below.
01:41And in parts of Asia, Santa has a modern look.
01:45His sleigh might glow with neon lights and fly above bustling cities, blending tradition with the sparkle of modern holidays.
01:55No matter the country, Santa's sleigh takes many shapes, but the joy it brings is the same everywhere.
02:03Merry Christmas from around the world.
