Mrs. Claus 🤶

Mrs. Claus appears in her signature festive attire—a red dress or outfit, often with white fur trim, and a warm, cheerful expression. She's rendered as the female counterpart to Santa, representing the beloved partner behind the man in red, complete with the holiday spirit and warmth associated with Christmas.

People use this to represent Mrs. Claus specifically, holiday magic, and female holiday figures. It's less commonly used than Santa but appears when someone wants to represent the full Christmas couple, discuss holiday traditions from a feminine perspective, or simply add variety to their festive emoji. Some use it affectionately when referring to a spouse or partner during the holiday season.

The emoji gained traction as emoji sets became more conscious of including female representations alongside their male counterparts. It works in contexts about holiday hosting, family traditions, and the behind-the-scenes magic of Christmas. Some users pair it with Santa to represent a married couple or shared holiday spirit.

Introduced as part of Unicode 9.0 in 2016, Mrs. Claus arrived several years after Santa, reflecting the gradual expansion of character diversity in emoji. The addition acknowledged that holiday representation should include all members of the Christmas mythology.
