The Reindeer are five of Santa's famous sleigh-pullers, featured in a repeated TV Christmas skit. The group consisted of boss Dasher (aka Charlie), Dancer, Donner, Prancer, and Blitzen. The reindeer made various bad puns, broke into random carols, and attempted to make it snow through a "snow dance".
