Last Christmas (Paul Wilmshurst, Doctor Who Christmas Special)

Badass Santa

(WARNING: story and plot twists discussed in explicit detail, so--watch the episode first!)

And finally after ten years of Whovian Christmas Specials (the only thing I actually look forward to when the season rolls by) the Big Man himself shows up. And when he makes his entrance (I mean a proper entrance, unlike the earlier rooftop scene where he attempted to remain incognito) it has to be in style. An explosion takes out a wall; tangerines roll (like bowled grenades?) across the floor; Slinkies march forth, followed by regiments of toy robots. The Big Man himself strides in in the guise of Nick Frost wearing a luxurious white beard and red suit, levels at the camera (at us in effect) his most 'I'm not taking any crap from you' Robert Baratheon glare and growls: "what seems to be the problem?"
