How fast does Santa Claus have to fly, to stop at every house with kids in it . . . assuming he chooses the most efficient route.
This infograph says he would travel at 5,083,000 mph.

You didn’t see Arthur Christmas, did you? Santa has a spaceship.
Quantum Santa. Prof Brian Cox was expounding on this only the other day apparently, recycling something I wrote in to New Scientist about 15 years ago. Santa exists concurrently in as many locations as necessary, as long as he is not observed - this is why it is important for kids not to see him, of course, since it would cause the present-delivery system to collapse. Fortunately, this would be a very naughty thing to do, and as we know, Santa does not visit naughty children.
There’s another factor as well, besides the fact that he only goes to households that celebrate Christmas.
Santa isn’t the gift-bringer in certain European countries…he has international helpers. Like the Jultomten (Christmas gnome) in Sweden, and Babushka of Russia and La Befana of Italy (who are more or less the same character).
Don’t forget the former slaves in Holland
