How Do YOU Think Santa Claus Would Deliver All His Presents In Star Trek Years - IN ONE NIGHT ??

With the Holidays approaching IRL, I figured this would be a GREAT time to pose this question
Here's what I think.....
AROUND EARTH
==========
Santa would have either a shuttle craft or runabout manned by his elves (One of which would pilot the vessel while the others would load each batch of presents on the transporter pod to beam to Santa's location
Santa himself would beam down to his first stop (With the first batch of presents of course
) but would use his personal site-to-site transporter to move from one stop to the other. Upon arrival, he'd signal his vessel indicating he was ready for his packages to be delivered. After that, he'll go after the milk & cookies & other stuff left for him while the the presents were in transport
Once they arrived, he'd finish laying them out around the Christmas tree
Since there would be no REAL fireplaces, all the stockings would HAVE to be hung on REPLACATED fireplaces instead (With care of course)
ELSEWHERE IN THE GALAXY
=================
this is where Santa would need a ship
Since it'd be LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to make these deliveries in one night, he'd either need to have his helpers (Or HE HIMSELF) make the deliveries early by making stops at EVERY outpost & Starbase to deliver to all the children stationed there as well as all the children of crew members assigned to the ships docked there in a Christmas Party like fashion
Of course in the case of Santa HIMSELF making the deliveries, the kids would be cynical & think he's just one of Santa's helpers, but Santa would be VERY real
that's MY idea. What's YOURS ?? HOW do YOU think Santa would pull it off in Star Trek years (Regardless of generation)
Let's have some FUN with this
Cheers & GAME ON

Oh, now don't tell me you want in on all this! Well, ok. Look this that Egg Pawn hanging outside your window, pointing his laser rifle at you, waiting for my next order. He's doing his part. He helps conquer the weak-minded. He roboticizes the weak-bodied. Heck, he even helps keep the useless people from causing any trouble, but you know what? Join. Find the closest Nataran Empire roboticization center near you and join the ranks, before the ranks find you. Oh, I know, you figure it must be so satisfying to know I basically rule the world now, and you know what? It is, but do you want to know the true definition of satisfaction? Well, let me tell you a little story. One day, you see a brand new event. They're giving out boxes that give old event stuff. Your dilithium is plentiful. You buy a whole lot of Phoenix packs on your main, and open them all. You get one epic token. Then, you decide, that since you have all the Breen ships and don't give a damn about the others, you exchange it for an ultra rare, and grab yourself a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and for the hell of it, a Voth Bulwark. You open both, leaving the Bulwark in your vast masses of starships as you jump into the bugship and deck it out, deck by deck, into the most awesome Jem'Hadar ship you can. You fly it. You enjoy it. Eventually, you get bored and leave, leaving the old Bulwark never flown... until later. Your main is long complete. Your new alt main, based off some character you pulled out of nothing just to explain away some starship being in service without the command of your dear admiral, is also complete. Mostly. Their reps and doffs are hard at work, getting you stuff. You realize the potential, and head back for your dear admiral, pull the most Voth themed build you can out of thin air, and suit up in your giant ship in the shape of you know what. You head out... and cause all sorts of havoc. Enemies scream out your name as their very life is drained away by your swarms of Aceton Assimilators. They complain to the devs of your OPness when you revive yourself from death every time you die. Do you show any form of mercy? No. After all, this isn't the United Federation of Planets, this is mother frakkin' Starfleet, where you explore strange new worlds and kick butt never kicked before. Oh, and you realize that I just wrote another speech rivaling your own signature. Cool. Oh, wait, that's just the original draft, it is part of my signature now. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I have become a Canadian Regent; one day, sooner than you'd expect, we'll suddenly decide to take over the world and declare an "alliance", and I shall become it's Regent. You know, like the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe of our beloved Star Trek. Oh, who'll we be taking over with? I dunno, maybe [REDACTED], or maybe aliens from outer space. Guess you'll have to wait and find out, won't we? Until then, don't ask too many questions, or else my Breen allies on Titania might pick up on your -- [REDACTED BY BREEN CONFEDERACY FOR REASONS] Also, psst... keep an eye out for flying Tribbles! Also walls. Big, great walls, separating entire continents apart. Walls patrolled by Tribbles. Flying Tribbles. Flying Nukara Tribbles. Don't worry, it's not like they were on Venus with a herd of Tholians or anything, they just like the extreme heat and brutal weather like acid rain and hurricane force winds as the norm. Oh, and definitely keep your eye out on any two-tailed foxes, because if they ain't glowing, they're definitely an imposter. Possibly an Undine, we caught one of those once in my place once. Oh, and if you find a two-tailed fox that doesn't like the cold... most certainly ask him to say sorry. If he refuses, DESTROY HIM WITH A DOOMSDAY MACHINE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH AGAINST SUCH AN OVERPOWERED IMPOSTER!
tr;dr, I am winning last post wins 3.0. Thank you for your time.
SHIPS don't have a way of receiving stuff via Temporal drives (In fact, they don't even have Temporal Transporter systems)

Temporal transporters.
Winning.

On that night, he spends about two hours getting the Noel warmed up and ready to fly (it uses eight impulse drives named after his reindeer) and then plots his course around Earth using his navigation console named Rudolph. He also has a cloaking device that even the Romulans would be jealous of that allows him to operate at full capacity while cloaked and allows beaming through the cloak. Once the course is set and all the elves are on board, he pushes the big red "DELIVER" button on his captain's chair and the ship slowly circles Earth.
Here's the fun part: Santa and his team of engineers have tied the replicators to the transporter systems, allowing the present to be replicated and transported down to the recipient automatically.
In addition to laying in a course, the Rudolph Console also scans every target home and, upon detecting milk and cookies (or any other gift for Santa), sends a signal to a separate dedicated transporter and replicator setup, storing the gift in a separate file so Santa can consume it all over the course of the next year without worrying about spoilage (since the advent of replicators, Santa has become quite fit and buff, much to the delight of Mrs. Clause).
While the Noel is doing all of this, Santa is having a Christmas dinner with all his elves to thank them for a job well done.
Wow, that came out better than I expected...
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

Not the U.S.S. NOEL but rather the U.S.S. RUDOLPH

Wouldn't the Church of Q be the predominant religion of the 25th Century Federation?
But that only covered Earth though

The hard part for him would be avoiding getting seriously bored after the hundred-billionth delivery each year.
