Violent Night is the third film in Rankin-Bass Santa Claus trilogy, and here is why I think that is so:
So Santa Claus Is Coming To Town is an origin story; It sets Kris up as an orphan that gets taken in and raised by elves and eventually finds himself slowly becoming Santa Claus over the years.
The second film, The Year Without a Santa Claus, sees a disenchanted Kris pondering taking the year off after who knows how many years in the role of Santa Claus. Mankind becoming non believers and taking him for granted fueling his decision to take a break.
Finally, Violent Night has seen Kris spiral into a drunken, disenchanted state, echoing a lot of the same sentiments he expressed in 'Year Without' while expressing further interest in giving up the role all together, with that particular night possibly being the very last.
