This is a thread dedicated to shows where the original, mythological St. Nick himself made an appearance. I'll start off.

1) Family Guy
2) American Dad
3) Stroker and Hoop
4) The Twilight Zone
5) Bewitched

6) I Love Lucy -- the "real" Santa appeared as the beards were pulled from Fred, Ricky, Ethel, and Lucy

Full House (they thought it was Joey in the Santa suit until they realized he was sitting with them)

Cheers

"Gilligan's Island": the first season.
"Full House": the final season's episode with Mickey Rooney.

Night Court

not really a sitcom, but in the Doctor Who 2010 Christmas Special, the Doctor says he is a friend of Santa's, providing a photo of him and Santa at Frank Sinatra's hunting lodge in 1952.

on Woops! Santa appeared as a real person - who felt guilty being one of the survivors after the nuclear accident

OK, thanks. That explains it. I didn't watch the show as faithfully after Mike and Gloria left, and this was the final season of AITF before ABP took over.

I have that Brady Bunch episode on DVD and he's not in it. Are you sure?

BEWITCHED

6) I Love Lucy -- the "real" Santa appeared as the beards were pulled from Fred, Ricky, Ethel, and Lucy

I love that episode! It's unfortunate that it rarely airs.

Also, I seem to remember a "Jeffersons" episode featuring the "real" Santa, but I can't recall the details of the episode. Anyone remember?

Well I don't know about the other shows but I have watched the twilight zone and yes it features Santa. It's cool and entertaining. I would like to watch some more episodes of this show.
when they made that revival of THE TWILIGHT ZONE in the 80s they re-made that segment.

A Chipmunk Christmas. Mrs. Claus buys Alvin the golden echo harmonica, then she goes home and her and Santa are sitting by the fire.

227 (1988)
Amen (1990)
Step by Step(1997)

Spongebob Squarepants

... The Brady Bunch "The Voice of Christmas".

I think that was a department store Santa, if you're referring to the scene where Cindy sits on his lap and asks him to bring Carol's voice back.
