The Night They Saved Christmas. 1984.
A oil company is using dynamite to blast their way through the ice in the North Pole, Santa sends his chief elf Ed to enlist a mother who's husband is working on the blasting site to stop otherwise Santa's village will be destroyed and that the oil is in the first site where they began.
Made for T.V movie that seems to be forgotten now yet it was shown a few times in the late 80s. Light hearted family festive film but really doesn't do much for adults and really is aimed for younger kids, here Santa looks really old, tired and sick of hearing Jingle Bells.
