The Department of Christmas Affairs (DCA) is delighted to announce the release of the 2023 Naughty and Nice List.
Thanks to the Global Behaviour Tracking Network and advanced data mining technology, we've compiled a comprehensive list of all 31,474 names currently being monitored by Santa.
Each name has been assigned a naughty or nice status based on their behaviour since Boxing Day 2022.
Remember, if a name is missing from the list, you can submit a name.

Contact the department if:
a naughty status has been incorrectly assigned
recent good behaviour should make a material difference to a name currently on the naughty list
If you believe either scenario applies to you, or someone you know, you can request a review.
