If #2 was a Rankin-Bass special, then it’s Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town, narrated by Fred Astaire.

Yeah, that's #3.

I think #2 was cartoon and not stop-motion, but I could be wrong.

No, I was a teenager by the time that aired. These are specials I would have seen in 1986-91.

Could #1 have been The Christmas Raccoons? Their bad guy is an aardvark who could be described as a "Snout monster."

That's the one! It's on You Tube, too. The snout-tying scene is at 17:45, removing any remaining doubt. Wow, I probably haven't seen this since the Reagan Era. Thanks, J Brecken!

Now I know #2 must be Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town. Everything fits with what I remember, except for the part where it's actually stop-motion and not a cartoon.
