Mrs Claus

North Pole matriarch

Mrs Claus is the wife of Santa Claus in Christmas folklore.

She typically appears as a cheerful, white-haired woman who helps manage the North Pole household and supports Santa's gift-giving operation.

Unlike her husband, she rarely leaves the workshop, serving as a background figure in the mythology: The children left cookies for Santa and Mrs Claus.
