The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus (1985)

Michael joins Aaron and Melinda to discuss his favorite Christmas
special, the Life and Adventures of Santa Claus by Rankin-Bass
from 1985. Based on the 1902 book by L. Frank Baum (you know, the
author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz), it adds a pagany,
Tolkien-esque, Dickensian feel to the holiday in an animagical
way.
