Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Jr.

November 21 – December 27, 2025

Based on the 1964 animated television Christmas special. Rudolph has been rejected by the other reindeer his entire life due to his red nose. He goes in search of somewhere to fit in. Along the way, he encounters fellow misfits, only to realize that he always belonged at home. When a storm threatens to keep Santa’s sleigh from taking flight, Rudolph is the only one who can save Christmas!
