When Santa Claus wants to quit work after Saint Nicholas kidnaps his inner child, Santa?s abandend- homeless nine year old daughter must team up with the soulless president of a big European toy company to save the spirit of Christmas.
I suggested Krampus as antagonist in my previous post in this thread. There I also explain who he is and what role he plays in the Christmas mythos in some countries.

The way I understand it Santa Claus is an amalgam of Saint Nicholas and Father Christmas (and a few more regional versions) that all originated with the original Saint Nicholas who started it by throwing money through a window so some poor family could afford a steep dowry, or something. ...

If you need an antagonist that would fit, I think Krampus (not sure about spelling?) would work better. He’s a character who I believe is mostly common in some Germanic countries. He’s sort of an anti-santa with large horns (like on a goat I think) who takes misbehaving children and stuff them in his bag. Sort of a double threat: “Behave and you get presents, but if you’re naughty Krampus comes and takes you away.”

I'm with dpg on this. People are crossing the border now for this very reason, and some right wing extremist groups are going to great lengths to prevent them, by building walls and having militia groups patrolling the border.

In a post-apocalyptic world I don’t see how it would even matter where the baby is born, since everywhere would be just as bad. Also, there would quite possibly no longer be any governments and all borders would be meaningless.
One thing that COULD make it an interesting reason to set it in a post-apocalyptic future is if ? provided that there still were nations and borders ? the situation was reversed from now and the US was maybe a bit worse off than other places and people were desperately trying to get OUT of there, including the mother who instead wants the baby to be born in Mexico instead. If you flip the situation, then it might be a reason to place it in the future, otherwise you could just set it in the present.
