Tales from the Darkside : Seasons of Belief (1986)

Made for TV, airing December 29th in the US.
Season 3. Episode 11.
The story: It's Christmas Eve. Stefa wants to watch 'A Christmas Carol' on tv and Jimbo can't stop making fun of Santa Claus.
The family is planning to just spend time together for this Christmas eve.
Stefa makes mention that Santa isn't real. Mom tells her that when little girls and boys say things like that, Santa flips a switch.
This makes all their new toys break within a month.
The kids shrug this off. But then they find Jimbo's toy train that was running around the tree broken and smoking.
It's just gotta be the train's time...
Stefa and Jimbo are bored and want a story.
Father wants to tell them the story of the most dangerous creature in the world, which he spells out for the kids.
When the kids say its name out loud, mother and father get very worried.
But they still tell the kids the story, which of course the kids don't take seriously...
Until the lights begin flickering and they get scared.
