Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has become as much a part of the Christmas tradition as Santa himself. Rudolph stars in the longest running and highest rated holiday television special of all time. Along with a cast of other misfits including Hermey the Elf, Yukon Cornelius, the Abominable Snow Monster and the Misfit Toys, the annual Rudolph telecast on CBS is the official start of the Christmas season for millions of families around the world. |
