Santa Claus melon, also known as Christmas melon or Piel de Sapo, is an oval-shaped melon with a thick, green mottled rind and pale green to white flesh. It has a mild, honey-like sweetness and a firm, juicy texture. Named for its long shelf life—sometimes lasting until Christmas—this melon is a winter favorite. Santa Claus melon is great chilled and sliced, added to salads, or served as a refreshing dessert option.
