Santa survives because we all agree to keep the magic alive. In this episode, Michelle and Jamie take that agreement seriously and start asking what would need to happen behind the scenes for Santa to actually function at scale. The North Pole quickly falls apart under scrutiny, giving way to discussions about supply chains, labour, secrecy, alternative bases, franchising models, and whether it would be easier to hide Santa in a rainforest, on a cruise ship, or in plain sight. By the time they’re done, Santa’s less a jolly loner and more a CEO with a staffing crisis and a very tight delivery window.
