Everyone from elves to reindeer are merrily preparing for Santa Claus's yearly sleigh ride. Everyone except Santa! Feeling forgotten by the children of the world, old St. Nick decides to skip his gift-giving journey and take a vacation. Eager to help, Mrs. Claus and two spunky little elves 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. StorylineMrs. Claus tells us about the time Santa had a bad cold and decided to take a vacation from Christmas. Two of his elves, Jingle and Jangle Bells, decided to go out with Vixen to find children to convince Santa that the Christmas spirit is still important to everybody else. But they must get past Heat Miser and Snow Miser before they land in Southtown, USA, where it never snows for Christmas. Heat and Snow can't agree to let this change, but Mrs. Claus knows their mother, Mother Nature. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Year Without a Santa Claus is a 1974 stop motion animated Christmas television special produced by Rankin/Bass Productions. The story is based on Phyllis McGinley's 1956 book of the same name. It is narrated by Shirley Booth (her final acting credit before her retirement from acting) and starring the voices of Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn and George S. Irving. It was originally broadcast on December 10, 1974, on ABC. Plot Santa Claus wakes up with a cold sometime before Christmas Eve. When the Christmas elf doctor sarcastically says that nobody believes in him anymore, Santa decides to forego his annual Christmas Eve run. Mrs. Claus enlists two Christmas elf brothers named Jingle and Jangle to find evidence of Christmas spirit in hopes of changing Santa's mind. Jingle and Jangle set out with Santa's youngest reindeer Vixen and come upon a small community in the southern United States called Southtown. However, their efforts at finding Christmas spirit are in vain and Vixen is caught by a dog-catcher and taken to the pound. Santa hears Vixen is missing and travels to Southtown while disguised as a civilian named "Klaus." While there, he meets a boy named Ignatius "Iggy" Thistlewhite and his family. When Santa leaves to retrieve Vixen, Iggy realizes his true identity and resolves to help Jingle and Jangle. The town's police officer refers Jingle, Jangle, and Iggy to the town's mayor who laughs at their story. He agrees to free Vixen if they can prove they are elves by making it snow in Southtown on Christmas. Iggy joins Mrs. Claus when she arrives to pick up Jingle and Jangle. Together, they visit the Miser Brothers. Unbeknownst to Mrs. Claus, Jingle and Jangle, or Iggy, Santa has already rescued Vixen from the dog pound and is on his way up to the North Pole. They ask Snow Miser, who controls cold weather, to send snow to Southtown for a day. He is agreeable, but says he cannot as it is part of Heat Miser's territory. They then ask Heat Miser who pretends that he will comply if Snow Miser turns the North Pole over to him in exchange. He actually plans to pick another fight with his more popular brother and it works. Mrs. Claus states that she has no other choice but to "go over their heads" as the Miser Brothers blame each other for her going to see their mother. This leads to Mrs. Claus visiting Mother Nature who convinces her sons to compromise. As Christmas approaches, the world's children send their own presents to Santa, setting off international headlines. One little girl is saddened by Santa's decision to skip his Christmas Eve journey, and she writes that she'll have a "Blue Christmas". Touched by the outpouring of caring and generosity, Santa awakens from a sleep and declares "I've dreamed unhappy things!". He then gets up from his bed to dress himself, hitches his reindeer up and his sleigh loaded with gifts, and he takes off to make his Christmas Eve journey after all, bringing the joy of Christmas to the children of the world. On Christmas Day, the children of Southtown were very happy ("Here Comes Santa Claus") with their presents they found under their trees; Ignatius even discovers that he's been given a bicycle, while he gives his parents their presents. As the special closes, Mrs. Claus remarks that somehow, "yearly, newly, faithfully and truly somehow Santa Claus always comes", and the soundtrack's chorus sings "There'll Be No Year Without a Santa Claus".
