A CLAUSE ( that's what you asked about, isn't it ) is a syntactic construction containing a subject and predicate, forming a sentence or a part of a sentence.
If you write a sentence about Santa, then the "santa" clause is a real grammatical construction = the "santa" clause in any properly constructed sentence about Santa is real.
By The Way - Your question IS, itself, a "santa" clause and as anyone can see - it is real.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: Santa Claus (not Santa Clause) is a town in Spencer County, Indiana, I'm fairly sure the residents there would argue that Santa Claus IS a real place.

Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.
You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest man that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank GOD! He lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

Yes. Santa Claus is the act of kindness and giving without a need to receive back. Santa Claus is the idea of year-long goodness being rewarded so children learn that acts of kindness are something to be given. Santa Claus is the cross-country idea that where ever you live, you should think of others first.
Santa Claus is real in the hearts of everyone, whether a person chooses to see him or not.

Yes. It was a real movie that starred Tim Allen and was released by Disney Studios. Has had two sequels. Made a fortune.
However, Santa Claus is an imaginary figure.

No, Santa Claus is not real, but he was based on St. NIck, a person who made gifts for all the little children in his village.
