Mr. Thomas Jingles, or simply, Mr. Jingles, is a man who kidnapped Grandpa Max in Holiday Village after assuming him as Santa Claus. He built a strange machine called the Jingulator. It is considered as the "heart" of the village, and it maintains the magic that give his nutcracker soldiers and snowmen to life. Not only does it gives his minions the ability to live, but it holds the curse that transforms children into elves that do his bidding, primarily assembling toys. He may not look evil as it seems, but all he needed was to learn about the true meanings of Christmas.
