Santa Buddies (2009)

In the heart of the North Pole, Santa Claus and his loyal canine, Santa Paws, find themselves in a chilling predicament. Their toy manufacturing system, powered by a magical icicle infused with the pure essence of Christmas spirit, is faltering. As the icicle's power dwindles, so does the joy and magic of Christmas. Amidst the crisis, Puppy Paws, the playful offspring of Santa Paws, grows weary of his Christmas duties and yearns for an ordinary life. After a harsh reprimand, Puppy Paws, wishing for a world without Christmas, flees to the quaint town of Fernfield. He finds solace with the five Buddies, mischievous puppies known for their whimsical adventures. However, Puppy Paws' departure further weakens the magical icicle, pushing its power beneath the critical level. Eli, the Chief Elf, tracks down Puppy Paws, embarking on a journey that could save Christmas spirit as they know it. But the road is fraught with challenges. Misunderstandings, the stern dog catcher Stan Cruge, and the world's waning belief in the true meaning of Christmas stand in their way. Meanwhile, Puppy Paws, having found Budderball on Santa's naughty list, decides to teach him how to be a regular pup. When they realize the Christmas Icicle is dangerously close to melting, it sparks a sense of urgency. The world is beginning to forget the essence of the holiday season, and the responsibility to restore it falls on their tiny shoulders. Together, Puppy Paws and his newfound Buddies embark on a daring voyage back to the North Pole. The fate of Christmas hangs in the balance, and it's up to these courageous pups to rekindle the world's Christmas spirit before it's too late. Will they succeed in saving the most magical time of the year? Only time will tell.
