Jolly Junction is the neighbourhood of the Robot Santa Claus little Neptunians workers at the north pole of Neptune. Despite all of the houses being made of gingerbread, the Neptunians can't eat them because they are "food or shelter, not both", forcing the population to beg to avoid starvation. Jolly Junction was once visited by the Planet Express crew, who were contracted to deliver letters to Santa Claus. After narrowly avoiding death, they trapped Santa in ice and, at Fry's insistence, reopened the workshop. The Neptunians were briefly able to make toys again until Bender was arrested. To prove Bender's innocence, Fry and Leela attempted to bring Santa back to Earth. However the smoke of the factory created a greenhouse effect, which melted the ice and freed Santa. After Santa became free, it is likely that the conditions of the town returned to normal.
