It was a magical morning, Rudolph, with his glowing nose and burdened heart started wandering  the woods aimlessly. There he stumbled upon Frosty the Snowman, a kind-hearted elf named Hermey. They quickly hit it off and became best friends. It was Frosty the snowman who taught Rudolph that being extraordinary wasn’t a flaw but a gift to be embraced.

This little fellow in the Rudolph costume was shy and was often shunned by his friends for looking different. The weather was harsh and a fierce storm came over the land of North Pole right before Christmas.
