Movies like rare exports: a christmas tale

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale is a 2010 Finnish fantasy action horror comedy film written and directed by Jalmari Helander about people living near Korvatunturi who discover the secret behind Santa Claus. The film is based on the 2003 short film Rare Exports Inc. and its 2005 sequel Rare Exports: The Official Safety Instructions by Jalmari Helander and Juuso Helander, both of which involve a company that traps wild Santa Clauses and trains and exports them to locations around the world.

An American and British research team from the firm Subzero are taking drill core samples on top of Korvatunturi (Ear Fell) in the Finnish region of Lapland. It is believed to be the home of Joulupukki, a figure in Finnish folklore that helped shape modern-day versions of Santa Claus. Team leader Riley realizes that the fell is an ancient burial mound built by the Sámi to conceal and imprison something. Two local boys, Juuso and Pietari, watch the team at work and eavesdrop on their discussions. They run to Juuso's nearby snowmobile quarreling about Santa Claus' existence as the team begins to excavate the fell using explosives. When they reach a glacier in the mountains, they find hundreds of reindeer carcasses.
