Prioritize destroying the candy turrets with ranged weapons before engaging the boss.

A Riot Shield can be used to block projectiles from the turrets.

Keep your distance from Impostor Santa to avoid his melee wrench attack.

A Ladder (15 Mossy Coins) and a Shovel (20 Mossy Coins) are required to access all areas of the workshop to destroy all turrets.

The Engineer class can build counter-turrets, but this feature may be buggy.
