Plot.

Noel is an 11-year-old girl who despises Christmas. She has lived with her father ever since her parents divorced three years ago, but her father ends up busy at work every Christmas and she cannot play with her friends from school. On a lonely Christmas Eve, Noel takes her usual apartment complex elevator ride to her home, but when the doors open, she finds herself lost in a humongous factory—owned by Santa Claus. Santa Claus has gone corporate as Santa Company with the motto "Swiftly, surely, secretly." The outfit takes orders and delivers top-notch presents to children in the utmost secrecy. Noel meets some new friends, and together, they take off in a sled to deliver presents.

Wiki.

Santa Company (Japanese: サンタ・カンパニー, Hepburn: Santa Kanpanī) is a 2014 Japanese anime short film that follows the story of a girl, Noel, and her friends as they deliver presents on Christmas Eve. The film was directed by Kenji Itoso through his own studio Kenji Studio. Originally launched as a crowdsourcing campaign on the Japanese site Anipipo, the film aimed at raising ¥1,000,000 for production. The project was unsuccessful, raising only ¥904,001 of the original goal. The project was re-launched, this time on Kickstarter, on December 3, 2013. On December 22, 2013, the film met its original goal of $50,000, and managed to raise $72,270 by the end of the campaign.

The project was scheduled to be delivered to backers by Christmas 2014, the film having been completed in July 2014. Kenji Studio planned to hold a special screening of the film for families who were affected by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami disaster. The film was screened at multiple film festivals around the world, starting with the Tokyo International Film Festival on October 25, 2014.An extended anime film titled Santa Company: Christmas no Himitsu by Asahi Production premiered in November 29, 2019. Another short film titled Santa Company: Midsummer Merry Christmas was released in 2021, as part of a campaign to raise awareness for marine debris. In December 2022, two Kickstarter campaigns were being held for English subtitled and dubbed versions for the films. There was also a Kickstarter for an English translation of the manga. On December 26, 2022, Kickstarter suspended the campaigns for Santa Company - Midsummer Merry Christmas and the manga. On January 14, 2023, the Kickstarter for Santa Company: Christmas no Himitsu was canceled due to difficulties with production and the COVID-19 pandemic. The campaign only made US$7,288 of its US$9,238 goal.
