CBS Announces New Holiday Special; The CW Halloween Specials

Reindeer in Here

Celebrate the holiday season with a new CBS Original animated special filled with joy and magic for the whole family!

Based on the award-winning Christmas book and plush set created by acclaimed author Adam Reed and written for the screen by Greg Erb & Jason Oremland, Reindeer in Here is the heartwarming story of how Blizzard (Blizz), a young reindeer living at the North Pole who has an unusual trait - one antler that is significantly smaller than the other - and his unique group of friends band together to save the future of Christmas. In doing so, they unknowingly create a magical holiday tradition like none other.
