Editorial Review:
Even Santa can suffer a case of the holiday blues. In this 1974 stop-motion holiday family favorite, a sparkly eyed Mrs. Claus (voiced by Shirley Booth) sings and tells about the year her hubby felt too weary and too unappreciated to prepare for his annual Christmas rounds. Mickey Rooney stars as the voice of Santa, a rosy-nosed puppet who travels incognito to Southtown in search of his tiniest reindeer, Vixen, and two well-meaning elves. Seems Mrs. Santa sent them to find proof of Christmas spirit--but all they've discovered is ambivalence about Santa's year off. Luckily, when Santa arrives and befriends a buck-toothed lad named Ignatius Thistlewhite, spirits begin to lift rapidly. Adult fans of this cousin to the 1970 television special Santa Claus Is Coming to Town will remember it as the Heat and Snow Miser movie--their vaudevillian theme songs, complete with trombone and piano riffs, are hard to forget; but other treasured musical moments include "I Believe in Santa Claus," "I'll Have a Blue Christmas Without You," and "Here Comes Santa Claus." --Liane Thomas

Rating: - christmas past
I was looking for this movie for a while and am glad to share it with my family and friends for years to come. It happens to be my daughter's favorite and she thinks the original christmas shows are the best.
Rating: - What's not to like?
Glad to find this on DVD and at such a great price! A family tradition for me and my son! Certainly recommend!
Rating: - Why don't they make Christmas Movies like these anymore?
I really only wanted the Year without a Santa Claus, but found that all three movies were amazing. I had forgotten about Rudolph's shiny new year, having loved it as a child, and was thrilled to realize what it was. My kids love all three, and watched them over and over and over...
Rating: - The best of the Rankin and Bass movies
How can you lose, Heat Miser and Snow miser, mother nature, Santa and mrs. claus. It also has Rudolphs Shiny New Year and a cute lesser known Christmas Donkey one. My son is still singing the songs from this movie this deep into January!
