Welllll...

Considering Christmas (taken as a whole) was conflated with the general "End of year/please come back, Mr Sun" festivals, and St Nicholas is/was part of Northern tradition, and Rudolph got tacked onto that, I guess it's as good a link as you're likely to get.

Then again, I've never seen, nor heard of, that animation. Truth is, I haven't a clue why.
