As for the jolly man's elves, they were substituted by a horde of selfless volunteers from On The Bandwagon.
The Central Coast not-for-profit group rolled into the Denman Pony Club grounds on Saturday, armed with early Christmas presents - and much-needed items - for numerous drought-affected Upper Hunter farming families.
And, landholders from Bunnan, Cassilis, Denman, Jerrys Plains, Martindale, Merriwa, Muswellbrook, Sandy Hollow and Uarbry welcomed the visitors with open arms.
Close to $9000 in stock feed, $8500 worth of hay and $7000 in toys accompanied between five and six tonnes of water to the region.
"It's our first time in Denman," On The Bandwagon founder Gayna Harvey said.
"I contacted [Lions Club president] Steven Carter about coming here after meeting him at Dunedoo a little while back.
"His organisation and the Merriwa CWA have been instrumental in putting all this together, too.
"We just want to do what we can to help those doing it tough at the moment."
On The Bandwagon first made its mark in September 2018 when the organisation dropped off seven tonnes of stock feed and four of water, food hampers, clothing and other living essentials at Dunedoo.
Since then, it's made relief runs to country towns across New South Wales and Queensland.
"Most of the donations we receive come from the Central Coast, as well as Sydney," Ms Harvey said.
"It's great to see people in those areas get involved.
"That's why I called it On The Bandwagon - we wanted everyone to support this cause.
"We need to highlight drought awareness as much as we can, especially on the coast and in the big cities."
Mr Carter admitted everyone was so grateful of Ms Harvey and her team's efforts.
"We can't thank them enough," he said.
"It's such a wonderful gesture.
"As we speak to the farmers all the time, we know how they're feeling.
"Almost 100 have benefitted [today].
"And, after talking to the ones here, they're so appreciative."
