Santa's Workshop is a map made for the Vs. Bosses gamemode.
It is set in a icy environment with a huge log cabin that got presumably turned into a workshop for making toys. Several other smaller log cabins can be found around the map which the player, nor bosses can enter. There is also a purple train located near a cliff with the name "St. Fittanium". The carriages that attach to it have the name "Boss carrier 1/2".
Falling off the cliff behind the train will kill the player, along with the message "[Player] fell off". Along with the cliff hazard, a small workbench with a active saw can be touched and will kill the player if touched too much. Getting killed by the saw will display "[Player] had a workplace accident" in the kill feed.
Inside the cabin, a huge pine tree can be seen with green and red ornaments, some presents, and a wooden payload cart that circles round the tree. Two portraits can be found to the left and right entrances showing a RED Brute wearing the Good-willed Gifter and the King Kringle holding the Candy Cane. The second portrait is a GRN Flanker wearing the Whereville Wardrobe and Agent's vest. On the bottom floor is also some crates and presents along with a few Christmas decorations.
On the top floor, there can be a sign which reads "Santa's Office" in which 2 red sofas can be found, along with a chandelier, shelf with toys, a ship in a jar, a miniature version of the workshop in a snow globe, the Holy Mackerel on a board, presuming it was hunted and stuffed, and a golden statue of Camo Camper, a then-retired TC2 contributor with the words "See you later, space cowboy!" written below.
On the catwalk on the top floor, a corkboard with some drawings alluding to an unknown mystery, a piano, potted plants and pictures of 4 maps. Those maps being Coldvine, Boundary, Cliffhanger, and Cargo.
In the room to the left you can find a sealed box with question marks on it with another corkboard above it, with indescribable clues. A green and red RV car with a controller for it can also be found.
In the room to the right you can find a shelf stuffed with presents, along with a miniature game of Payload with toy mercs of GRN and RED fighting, along with a toy Joseph Fitten behind a building. Figures of Brute and Agent can be found in a box, in packaging similar to that of the TF2 NECA figurines. There is also 3 cartons of a presumable liquid. You can find Loimology's pumpkin head in a bucket.
Nearby the control point is a pond with 2 fishing poles dropped in with 2 cuts made so the poles can get into the water.
