Papai Noel is the Portuguese name for Santa Claus in Brazil and Portugal, and his ho ho ho laugh has been a shorthand for Christmas for generations in stories, adverts and television specials. Short laugh clips like this one, lasting only a few seconds, began circulating on soundboards and in WhatsApp groups during the holiday season, where they are shared as quick festive greetings and reactions. Because the laugh needs no translation, it travels easily between Portuguese and English speaking audiences and returns every December for videos, store promotions and family messages.

This is the unmistakable laugh of Papai Noel, the Portuguese name for Santa Claus, delivered as a warm, booming ho ho ho that rolls out in a slow, jolly rhythm.
