To be fair, in a significant portion of those cartoons there's an inciting incident with the characters at fault. They accidentally do something to muddle christmas, they help santa pull it off

This is more of cultural misunderstanding of Americans not knowing how to deal with European customs and traditions.

Also this has something to do with American sentiment of anything old is bad and anything new and modern is always better.

No this has everything to do with kids cartoons having at least one dedicated christmas episode where the main character has to help Santa because some sort of catastrophe. His rates of catastrophe since the start of childrens' cartoons is extremely high. How on earth could he ever have succeeded when he's clearly relying on great logisticians such as Sponge Bob Squarepants or the Flintstones?
