Theory:Timeline - Santa Claus

This page lists appearances of Santa Claus in the order in which he experienced them. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories.

Note that, as some accounts (though not all) hold that Santa was an incarnation of Astrolabus, his timeline page contains a duplicate of this timeline.
