See title. My partner loves Xmas, and is a leftist. Just seeing if there's anything good out there we can throw on some night. If this question has been asked before, let me know and I'll delete. Thanks!

    There should be a movie about the Christmas Elves unionizing.

    They start out by making all the classic mistakes - asking nicely, a handful of firebrands trying to go off without support and getting canned, unionizing the elves and reindeer separately - and slowly learn to do it right. They unionize, strike, sabotage, engage in solidarity strikes across the entire operation, and Dudley the Third String Reindeer writes to the Teamsters to get their new union brought in. Finally they get Santa to leave in frustration. But oh no! None of them can drive a sleigh, and a small child cries when the presents are delivered by an elf, not Santa. Will they have to go back to their old boss after all? When it looks like all is lost, they get a surprise letter telling them to go to the Teamsters headquarters immediately. The president of the union introduces them to Stanley Clausewitz, a fat man with a huge white beard, who's been driving a delivery truck for 40 years and competes in sleigh driving races for fun. Christmas is saved by inter-union solidarity! They form a co-op and we fade to credits, to the sound of a cover of Solidarity Forever with obligatory sleigh bells added.
