Santa and his abilities may very well exist outside of our universe. If there are indeed infinite universes, and the physics in each one varies ever so slightly... once you get far enough removed from our own universe, with its own laws of physics, the possibilities are theoretically infinite (the word "universe" itself could also be considered misapplied here)
How does he know who has been bad or nice?
There very well could be universes where the mental powers of the inhabitants are such that they're able to "know" a person upon sight or over distance. Able to communicate desires and information effortlessly and without limits. Perhaps in a not so radically different universe than ours only a few have "evolved" in such a way mentally.
Perhaps the nose of an animal glows through bioluminescence in one particular universe. Perhaps different body parts on others creatures also glow?
Fly? Well, you'd have to get very far removed from our own laws of physics for this to be realistic. But hey, isn't that what infinity is best at? Getting us far removed?
Not answering if its likely, just simply possible.
Thanks for reading!

and because I enjoy Neil deGrasse Tyson I'll have to include some Neil too...
