Description
Running With Santa: Xmas Run Mod throws you into the boots of a stranded Santa whose sleigh has broken down, scattering presents across a wintry countryside. The core loop is pure, fast-paced arcade bliss: you swipe left and right to dodge obstacles, jump over gaps, and slide under barriers while frantically collecting lost gifts and coins. It’s a holiday-themed runner that nails the chaotic, one-more-try feel of the genre, with a charmingly frantic Santa sprite and cheery soundtrack setting the mood.
Why This Runner Stands Out
Beyond the festive skin, Running With Santa: Xmas Run Mod introduces a light narrative hook—figuring out what happened to the sleigh—that gives your dashes a bit more purpose. The environments shift from frozen forests to icy caves, keeping the visual fatigue low. The real longevity comes from the upgrade shop. New costumes for Santa, magnet power-ups, score multipliers, and revive tokens are all locked behind the in-game currency, which normally requires grinding run after run. That’s where the mod fundamentally changes the experience.
How the Mod Features Work
The mod for Running With Santa: Xmas Run Mod comes with a single, massively impactful feature: unlimited money. Upon installing the modded APK and launching the game, your currency counter will be set to an extremely high value. This isn’t just for show. You can immediately open the in-game shop and purchase every single item.
To use it, simply start Running With Santa: Xmas Run Mod. The mod is passive and always active. There’s no mod menu to toggle. Head straight to the shop icon on the main menu. You’ll see categories like "Costumes," "Power-ups," and "Utilities." Tap on any item, like the "Jetpack Santa" costume or the "Gift Magnet" upgrade, and confirm the purchase. Your money balance will not decrease. You can buy everything in one sitting, permanently unlocking all gameplay advantages and cosmetic options.
Device and Performance Notes
This mod APK was tested on a POCO X6 Pro 5G running Android 14. The game itself supports Android 2.3 and up, so it should run on a wide range of older and newer devices. The mod functioned perfectly on the test device. On very low-end devices, the game might stutter during particle-heavy sections (like collecting many gifts at once), but the mod feature itself is server-free and will work regardless of performance. The unlimited money is stored locally on your device.
Pro-Tip: Maximize Your Modded Runs
Don’t just buy everything and call it a day. The real fun starts when you strategically combine power-ups. First, purchase all the permanent score multiplier upgrades from the shop. Then, buy the "Revive" utility items—you can stack them. Now, start a run. With unlimited money, you can afford to revive multiple times during a single run, pushing your score into insane territories for the leaderboards. Also, equip a costume that you find visually clear; some of the flashier ones can sometimes obscure upcoming obstacles.
Installation Guide
Since this is a modded APK, you won’t find it on the Google Play Store. You’ll need to sideload it.
- Download the "Running With Santa: Xmas Run Mod" MOD APK file from a trusted mod site.
- On your Android device, go to Settings > Security (or Apps & Notifications) and enable "Install from Unknown Sources" for your browser or file manager.
- Using your device’s file manager, navigate to the Downloads folder and tap on the downloaded APK file.

FAQ
Is this Running With Santa: Xmas Run mod APK safe to install?
Yes, based on the tested version, the mod APK does not request any dangerous permissions like SMS, call logs, or contacts. It only requires standard storage access to install and run the game. The mod works on Android 2.3 and above without needing root access.
Do I need to root my Android phone to use this mod?
No, rooting is not required. This is a standard sideload mod. You simply need to enable "Install from Unknown Sources" in your Android security settings to install the APK file directly, bypassing the Google Play Store.
How do I install the Running With Santa: Xmas Run mod APK?
First, download the APK file. Then, go to your device's Settings > Security and enable installations from unknown sources for your file manager or browser. Locate the downloaded file, tap it, and follow the installation prompts. Once installed, open Running With Santa: Xmas Run normally—the mod features will be active immediately.
What does the 'Unlimited Money' mod feature actually let me do in the game?
The Unlimited Money feature sets your in-game currency to a very high value that does not decrease when you spend it. This allows you to instantly buy every costume (like Reindeer Santa), all permanent power-up upgrades (like score multipliers), and utility items (like extra revives) from the shop, removing all progression gates.
Will using this mod get my account banned?
Running With Santa: Xmas Run is primarily a single-player/offline endless runner. There are online leaderboards, but since the game's economy is client-side, there is no server-side anti-cheat to detect the mod. Using it in the single-player modes carries no ban risk. However, if the game ever adds competitive multiplayer with server-side validation, using the mod there would be risky.
