Feeling forgotten by the children of the world, old St. Nick decides to skip his gift-giving journey and take a vacation. Mrs. Claus and two spunky little elves, Jingle and Jangle, set out to see to where all the season's cheer has disappeared. Aided by a magical snowfall, they reawaken the spirit of Christmas in children's hearts and put Santa back in action.

"REWATCH: One of my all-time favorite Christmas movies! I love the songs, the clay-mation, and of course, Heat and Snow Miser. I have their songs and dances memorized to this day!"

"I don't know how this one was not popular with my twin and me growing up. I personally, as a child, tended to overlook this one. When I got married to my husband he came with a high respect, love and almost reverence for this movie. I'm a Twin who married a twin and my husband saw a lot of himself and his twin in the Miser brothers. This movie is protected above the rest of my Rankin and Bass movie collection as my Husband's favorite Christmas movie memory. I like it too. "

"Who doesn’t love the bitter rivalry between the Heat Miser and the Snow Miser? This is the favorite Rankin & Bass in our house (although I’ll always love Rudolph’s island of the misfit toys). "

"Kind of a lame plot compared to similar movies but the BEST characters and catchiest songs that make it a classic"
