Every December, one figure appears across cultures and continents — Santa Claus. A cheerful man in red, flying through the night, delivering gifts to children around the world. But where did this story really come from? Was Santa Claus real, or is he purely a modern myth?

In this Christmas special Knowledge Nuggets episode, we uncover the true origins of Santa Claus. From the historical figure of Saint Nicholas to European folklore, winter traditions, and the gradual evolution of the modern Santa we recognise today, this episode separates fact from fiction while preserving the magic behind the legend.

What you’ll discover:
