However, the publication quickly apologised and confirmed that to its knowledge Father Christmas had not died.
Aftenposten which is Norway's second-biggest selling newspaper blamed the gaffe on an "internal procedure error".
A spokesman said: "An error in Aftenposten’s internal procedures led to a fictional obituary of Santa Claus [being] published in our digital systems.

A spokesman said: "An error in Aftenposten’s internal procedures led to a fictional obituary of Santa Claus [being] published in our digital systems.
"Aftenposten has strict guidelines for both the content and use of symbols in our obituaries.
"This ad is a violation of these and should never have been published.
"We will find out what has happened."
It removed the classified ad from its website after bosses were made aware of it.
The original notice read: "Dear Father Christmas, born 12 December 1788," and then claimed he died in Nordkapp, Norway - just before his 227th birthday.
It appeared with a picture of a cross.
