Has there ever been a Doctor Who episode where the Doctor has to pretend to be Santa for some reason a la Hogfather?
Not as such. Tom Baker dressed up as Santa once when leaving the Brigadier a Christmas present, and Matt Smith went down a chimney on Christmas one time but not in costume.
There was also one of my favourite Steven Moffat dialogue exchanges, which comes from a Christopher Eccleston story. From memory:
Rose: Look at you, beaming away like you're Father Christmas! Doctor: Who says i'm not, red-bicycle-when-you-were-twelve? Rose: what
speaking on doctor who, apparently they recently commissioned Michael Moorcock to write a tie-in novel and he somehow made most of it a Wodehouse pastiche?
Instructions: Throw these shoes at each other. Don't worry, they're made of very soft materials and won't hurt anyone to be hit by them. Except for hurting their self-esteem and insulting them. Which simultaneously is perfectly okay yet hits them where it really hurts.
the dude throwing the shoe at GWB would be funnier had he not been arrested for throwing a shoe near Iraqi President al-Maliki
I want to give the shoe-thrower a Nobel Peace Prize.
well he'd be more deserving of it than Obama
this
obama getting the peace prize had about as much meaning as giving it to an inanimate object, because the only point was that he was both black and not a republican
the stability of ELBRIDGE GERRY is mainly modulated by the presence of NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, which is in turn inhibited by the activity of the DANIEL WEBSTER

Oh yes, in Last Christmas
Boringly he turned out to be a hallucination, and they said Santa wasn't real, which was hella lame of them
though it was apparently a Wodehouse pastiche, yes

I do. You do. They do. All of us do. So do all of them.
Even if you have done nothing wrong, it is amusing.
many of these traits exist only because society makes something of them, rather than some sort of inherent meaning.
okay, there you go, i said it, now flame me again.
traits everywhere
i only asked for an explanation glenn, i wasn't looking for a reason to flame you

Doctor Who officially has no canon.
