Rudolph must find Happy, the baby new year, before the midnight of New Year's Eve.
Editor's Verdict
"While the movie features Rudolph (a key Christmas icon) and takes place around a winter holiday, the central conflict revolves entirely around New Year's Eve, not Christmas. The setting and plot are strongly tied to New Year's, placing it firmly in the 'Holiday Adjacent' category rather than a traditional Christmas film, despite the initial connection via Rudolph."
