Where To Watch
How well do you actually remember The Year Without a Santa Claus?
Prove you remember the best Christmas there ever was...
In 1974, Rankin/Bass turned Phyllis McGinley's 1956 book The Year Without a Santa Claus into an instant Christmas special classic.
With memorable characters and a plot with more twists than the reindeer's route on Christmas Eve, there's no holiday movie quite like it.
Do you remember every song and sigh of this holiday special's sentimental story? See how many questions you can get right below.
Only those with the most Christmas spirit will get through the quiz unscathed by Heat Miser's bolt. Good luck!

To clarify the first question, Santa wanted to skip Christmas because he was not only tired, he caught a terrible head cold. Mickey Rooney spoke as if he were congested the whole show, sniffling and blowing his nose so much it was red.
It was a little of both. Santa was sick with a terrible cold, but he also felt tired and disappointed because people didn't really believe in the spirit of Christmas any more.
13/13. one of my favorite Christmas specials. Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is another. I have to watch these every year.
I got 10 out of 13 , because it's been a while seeing it ever since.
6/13 I barely remember it
