If you mean the poem, "A visit from St. Nicholas", then the poem itself is public domain. So you are free to recite it yourself, record it, and use that for whatever. But, anyone else's usages of it, are themselves copyrighted to each individual person.
Without specifiying which version you mean (and there are MANY versions with same/similar names), it's not possible to say who owns the rights for it. But, the poem itself is public domain.
The poem was written way back in 1823, but I'm not sure when the little 8 minute special on ABC family was made. I'm estimating late 1920s or early to mid 1930s.
It was written in 1843. Since that time it has been reprinted in many forms and languages, as well as produced in many other media. It is in the public domain.
17 September 1843
