probably as an analogy to sinterklaas (saint nicholas), whose legend is still alive in the Netherlands and flanders and who rides on a white horse. as Santa Claus (note the similarity to saint nicholas) needed some vehicle to travel the whole world (like saint nicholas), and as he lived in northern Europe, a reindeer was the most obvious choice.
