In "No Antagonist," I added the averted trope in "The Christmas Chronicles 2" where Belsnickel's the antagonist.
Added DiffLines:
** In the sequel, the trope's averted as Belsnickel is one for most of the film, starting off as APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil, or specifically an elf before he did enough naughty things to turn into a human.[[spoiler: Eventually Santa & Mrs. Claus talk things over with him peacefully and forgivingly to cause his HeelFaceTurn as he returns to his elfin form]].

* FreezeFrameBonus: If one were to pause the second film right after the book opens up and right before it zooms into the picture, there's a brief text that goes into some details about Santa Claus' humble origins as a normal, non-magical bishop known as Santa Nicholas (or Nick) who was born into wealth. Apparently one night, Nick heard about a poor man who was a father of three young women who would be forced into a life of servitude unless they could get married to husbands. But the father couldn't afford a dowry to their potential husbands, and so the daughters could never be married. And then after dropping gold coins into each sock and watching as the daughters celebrate their newfound riches with their father. Nick realized the simple act of giving could change children's lives. After which he'd become a bishop and use his wealth to provide goods for children in need.
