Wow... Uh, I even't gonna lie to you guys. That's the most beautiful thing I... ever heard in my whole life...
Mall Santa, Eggnog ERECT

Mall Santa is a background character who appears during Week 5. He is one of the numerous spectators of the rap battle during most of the week.

Appearance

Mall Santa is a stubby old man with light skin and a long white beard, playing the role of a typical mall Santa. He wears a typical red Santa suit with a black belt and golden buckle, white gloves, maroon shoes and a stocking cap. He is seen with a worried expression at all times while sweating profusely.

Personality

Not much is known about Mall Santa's personality, but he seems to be perverted. However, he may also be friendly and interested in music, as he expresses genuine enjoyment and appreciation of the performance that Mommy Mearest, Daddy Dearest, and Boyfriend put on in the Christmas Mall.

History

During the tracks Cocoa and Eggnog, he is seen standing next to Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest, constantly being held at gunpoint by the former. At the end of Eggnog in ERECT mode, Mall Santa comments that the song was the most beautiful thing he had heard in his whole life, before shortly being shot dead by Daddy Dearest.

During the track Winter Horrorland, much like everybody else that was spectating in the previous songs, he is nowhere to be seen.

Relationships

Daddy Dearest

Daddy Dearest takes Mall Santa's throne for himself, holding him at gunpoint to prevent him from snitching.[1] While the mall Santa isn't worried about the gun that much,[2] he is still quite scared as this happens.

Mommy Mearest

An aroused Mall Santa tries to catch a look at Mommy Mearest's breasts,[2] constantly staring at them during the level.

Trivia

  • Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest are seated on Santa's chair in their Week 5 appearance, highly suggesting that they have stolen it from Mall Santa.
  • ninjamuffin99 stated that Mall Santa died during Week 5.[3] At the end of the ERECT version of Eggnog, he is instead simply shot dead by Daddy Dearest, as the ERECT and player character remixes are "what if" scenarios that aren't canon to Story Mode.[4]
    • After this statement, PhantomArcade elaborated by saying that Santa dies if the player loses even once during Week 5.[5]
      • This means that Mall Santa is the first character to die in the game, the second being Senpai in Week 6 and the third being several Tankmen in Week 7.
      • According to ninjamuffin99, Friday Night Funkin' will have a rare "Santa" ending that can only be unlocked if the player never lets Mall Santa die.[6] However, this may have been a joke; when asked in a Reddit AMA about whether Mall Santa would reappear in other weeks or the ending would merely be an Easter egg if it was not a joke, ninjamuffin99 responded by joking that "thats the real santa, and next christmas update at BF's house, he won't have any christmas presents and will be so depressed that he didnt get a PSP he will jump into the road and die, and the game DOES feature permadeath."[7]
  • The decision to have the Mall Santa talk in the ending of Eggnog ERECT was a last-minute decision by PhantomArcade, being recorded a week before the update released.[8]
