One on Santa’s team

COMET

This speedy celestial body shares its name with a reindeer known for pulling Santa’s sleigh through the night sky.

Santa’s team refers to his reindeer, the group that pulls his sleigh. The clue hints at one of their names, and "Comet" is a well-known reindeer from the classic poem A Visit from St. Nicholas (also called The Night Before Christmas). It’s a straightforward reference—no wordplay, just a direct nod to holiday tradition.
