Famous around-the-world traveler

Answer:

SANTA

Hint:

This jolly gift-giver is known for his sleigh rides on a single night each year, crossing continents with the help of reindeer. Think red suit and a long white beard.

Explanation:

The clue plays on Santa Claus’s legendary global journey every Christmas Eve, where he’s famously known for traveling "around the world" in a single night to deliver gifts. The word "traveler" hints at his annual trip, while "famous" points to his iconic status in holiday culture. It’s a straightforward but clever nod to how Santa is recognized worldwide for his festive voyage.
