Rudolph's Shiny New Year

Rudolph, a caveman, a knight, a whale with a clock in his back, and Benjamin Franklin must team up to stop an evil vulture who has abducted Baby New Year because he'll turn to ice if he can't prevent time from moving forward.

Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July

It's like they took the creation myth of an Eastern religion and substituted Rudolph for its holy figure.

Once the Earth was cold and dark and Winterbolt ruled all with cruelty. Then Aurora Borealis sprang forth and imprisoned him for a thousand years. But she knew her time was drawing short, so she placed a mark -- the insignia of a shiny star -- on the hoof of a chosen reindeer who would one day save Christmas from Winterbolt's threat of a world of endless cold.

IT'S RUDOLPH!! He has a shiny nose and it lights the way for Santa on a foggy Christmas Eve! You don't need to complicate things to that degree. This is like the Expanded Rudolph Universe. If you just really thought he needed an extensive origin story with pseudo-religious overtones, this is the story for you.
