I don't think donkeys can fly.

Serpents, although if that were the case, Santa and Satan would be a mere permutation apart.

Wouldn't a team of pegasus work out better than reindeer anyway?

Where there's a catapult, there's a way.

Donkeys could eat the magic feed corn that the Winter Warlock carries in his pockets. It's not exclusively for reindeer, you know.

How about flying turkeys then?
-then that way Santa can, at his last few stops before going home, wring their necks and use them as food-presents (xmass turkeys for the roast) . He would have to keep a few alive so that he can use them to power is sledge home but then after he is back home he could wring their necks as well so that he can have some roast turkey for himself.

Doesn’t Santa normally do this with his reindeer?

Their wings would interfere with the pegasus on the side.

…...of course the reindeer are only there for aesthetic appeal..…

Ok, donkeys are not known for their aesthetic appeal.
How about panthers then? (assuming they can be magically made to fly)

Dog sled. After all, Santa lives at the north pole and dog sled is how folks get around up there.

Although, I've never heard of a flying dog!

The reindeer are usually shown as whitetail deer instead of caribou. And the caribou are ridden in Lappland by the Samis. My childhood book of stories by Hans Christian Andersen show caribou flying and pulling the sleigh of the Ice Queen.
