Nearly No Christmas (1983)
Santa Claus is forced to lave the North Pole and get a job to raise funds for repairing his Toy Factory.
A made-for-TV movie (from New Zealand?), this appears to have a similar vibe as "Monster's Christmas", "I Believe in Santa Claus," and "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians."
A movie trailer is on YouTube:
