Santa is a shared delusion running on people’s minds in a distributed fashion, known in magic occult spheres as an egregore. All of those minds then manifest Santa by their own deeds and the spread of Santa memes. Santa‘s sled is everywhere at once as the sequence of delivered packages doesn’t matter. One Santa manifested everywhere through human thought and action.

Isn’t this how gods worked in Terry Pratchett’s books?

No, but it is how Santa worked, as seen in Hogfather.
Gods are a species that become more powerful the more worshippers they have and essentially powerless when they have no followers, as seen in Small Gods.

Wasn’t the Hogfather an old winter god?

Maybe? It’s been a while.

You’re thinking of American Gods by Gaiman.

My god is YouTube. TV is dead.
