Should probably wait for the 25th to do this, especially with it being KH 2.5, but I feel like I'll forget between finals next week and the holidays and stuff.

At 21:10, we learn that Santa from Christmas Town has Sora, Donald, and Goofy on his naughty/nice list. That means this dude is the St. Nick for several planets. Because it'd be odd if he were exclusive to just his own world, Destiny Islands, and Disney Castle, it's pretty safe to assume that he delivers presents to every single inhabited planet in Kingdom Hearts thus far. Excluding sleeping worlds, worlds without life, worlds that are not actually worlds (100 Acre Wood, Monstro, Deep Space [though, the Earth Stitch traveled to at the end of BBS would certainly count], etc.), and worlds set in eras predating modern Santa-lore, Santa would preside over 12 different planets so far as we know.
Now, I know you're probably wondering why each world has to be visited on the same day. But Santa prepares for Christmas on every other day of the year. So, because of time-zones and shit, this should give him 31 hours to visit 12 planets. Obviously going to each house is a feat in and of itself, but fuck that.
Anyway, as with the Highwind calc, we're going to be using the distance from Venus to Earth (38 million km) as our distance between each planet.
38000000000*12=4.56e11m
4.56e11/(31*60*60)=4086021.5m/s
or about mach 12,000.
Goddamn, these reindeer are fast. This is a pretty big low-ball, too, as it acts as if these planets are all rotating around the same sun in a perfectly circular fashion, which is simply not true. And it doesn't account for the distance Santa travels while on each of these planets, which would probably be huge if I cared to find out.
I'll see if I can work out a more accurate distance with the world map in a bit. And maybe someday we should talk about how most of these planets have their own Suns.
