In theory, Santa needs to deliver presents to 200 million children across 200 million square miles in 24 hours. With an average of 2.67 children per household, 75 million homes to visit, and an average distance of 1.63 miles between homes, Santa would have to travel at an average speed of 5,083,000 miles per hour.

This is over 200 times faster than Apollo 11 at top speed, 50 times faster than a comet, and over 92,000 times faster than an average car on the highway. But still 130 times slower than the speed of light.
