The movie, Elf, is a great example of people not believing in Santa, when there really is one. Buddy the Elf spends his time in New York City trying to find connect with his father, but also encounters the non-believers in the Big Apple. They talk about the rumor of Santa, and even show that the belief rate is down, according to the "clausometer" but he does his best to get people believing! Elf is a feel good movie that gets you into the holiday spirit super quickly and ready to sing carols!
Miracle on 34th Street is also a perfect example. One of the best holiday films, in my opinion, it tackles the issue head on, and by the end, everyone is a believer! When I first saw this movie I was trying to figure out if there really was a Santa Claus, and this made me believe in the magic of Christmas--for a while longer. The innocence of the little girl, Susan, the determination of the lawyer, Brian, and the faith that Kris Kringle has in his case, leaves you feeling good about the world and hopeful that there could really be a Santa!
