Mexico, still, has a tradition of showing this on TV, every year, around the “holiday season”-the actual movie and not the MST3K version.

“Santa Claus Conquers The Martians” has the true meaning of Christmas.

I saw the “regular” version as a kid a few times in English on tv (or maybe even at a Christmas party event on film) and then decades later discovered it while flipping past a Spanish language channel.

Here's another unusual Christmas film (feature from 1913) from Russia.

It too has the devil interfering.

CHRISTMAS EVE by Wladyslaw Starewicz
41 minutes with a synth score

The Night Before Christmas is a 1913 silent film made in the Russian Empire by Ladislas Starevich, based on the tale of the same name by Nikolai Gogol. Unlike most of Starevich’s films, it is mainly live-action.

Based on Gogol's story: It's Christmas Eve, and everyone in the village has plans. The devil and the witch Solokha are looking for ways of causing mischief. Chub the Cossack just wants some vodka. Solokha’s son, Vakula the smith, wants to court Chub's charming daughter Oksana, who sets him on a quest: if Vakula will bring her the tsaritsa’s shoes, Oksana will marry him. Meanwhile, the popular Solokha has a series of male visitors to contend with. When Vakula interrupts her, it sets off a chain of events that leads to a busy night for everyone.
