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.
