In short, there's nothing here to confirm that Santa definitely is real, but nor is there anything to suggest that he definitely isn't. Take Santa - for embittered cynics like me who blanched at the thought of Father Christmas becoming 'canon', the dream conceit allows us an out, but Moffat is careful never to trample on childhood fantasies either. The structure of 'Last Christmas' also means that only is this a more thoughtful offering than a few of the more bombastic specials from years past, but that all the festive trappings we've come to expect feel less extraneous than they often have done.
