Prior 1995 I think. Prior 2000s for sure. I saw it on TV only once, but I remember I liked it a lot and wanted to see it next christmas.
Santa has an accident or something, and a businessman will do the job in the end (he doesn’t want at first, nor he believes). I remember the meeting room, with a big table. And maybe a bench in a park or something at the end of the movie?
Meanwhile, kids find santa’s bag. A girl (maybe teenager but maybe younger) takes a lot of toys out of the bag (you can take anything out of it) and is not as happy as she thought she would be with so many things she thought she wanted. Instead of keeping the bag, they help.
That’s all I can remember.

Maybe “The Santa Clause” (1994)?

I’ve looked through all the images on IMDb and they don’t ring any bells, but it’s been so many years I’d have to watch it just in case. Thank you for your answer.
