I am writing an essay and I need to know the plural of Santa Claus.
Is it Santa Claus's or Santa Claus' or something different?!

I would think Santa Clauses. An apostrophe would signify owndership - as in "Santa Claus' sleigh" - and that's not the same as plural.

Sigh. Grammar lesson:
There are 15 Santa Clauses in the big store.
Santa Claus's sleigh is loaded and ready.
The Santa Clauses's beards are in the dumpster.

haha, nice reasoning there, em! Nothing justifies a point of reasoning so much as the power of the majority voice!
say Santa Clauses, or Santas, or... a number of entities physically manifest as Santa Claus.. =)

You don't need to put the extra s.

Santa Clauses
Yeah, if Santa somehow got cloned. Actually nvm, if he isn't real why can't there be a fake multitude of Santas? ...If that made sense to you.

There's only one santa, he's universal. Anyway, you can't use an apostrophe. That makes it possessive not plural.
