Plot
The film set three years after Hooves of Fire where the reindeer have set up a travel business called North Pole Holidays where Robbie is showing a group of animal tourists around Coldchester. When one of the tourists falls over a cliff Robbie comes to his rescue but falls off the cliff in the process but he is rescued by a viking who then flees before Robbie can thank him.
Robbie returns to Reindeer Lodge which is being used as the resorts office were Donner tells him that she had to refund the tourists he left on the cliff. Robbie begins to tell her about the viking but she replies that Vikings haven't existed for hundreds of years. Prancer arrives and says that somethings going on outside. This is revealed to be two tourists: a kangaroo and koala who are complaining about the state of the chalets (which Robbie built poorly) and the fact that there's no snow to ski in and end up being refunded by Donner. That night, Robbie, Donner, Prancer and Tapir are forced to share a bath due to not being able to afford water. But when Donner mentions Blitzen, Tapir starts to panic, but is calmed down by Robbie who says that Blitzen is locked away and won't be out for a long time.
However, the next day, Blitzen is released from prison for good behavior and comes to the cabin and convices the reindeer that he has changed his ways and wants to help them make their holiday resort into a luxury hotel. But he soon shows his true colours when he traps the reindeer in the hotel and tells them that he is going to show them the meaning of suffering and says that they've built not a hotel but the start of his attraction "Blitzen's Reindeer World".
Robbie, Donner and Prancer are able to escape and go to find help. Blitzen sends his master of disguise rabbit helper Long Eared Jack to get them back. Jack is able to capture Donner and Prancer. Robbie then finds a tribe of vikings all named Magnus. He manages to convice them to help him but is then captured by Jack. Back home Blitzen uses special remote control hats to turn the reindeer into robots whilst Robbie is tied over blades.
The vikings arrive in time to rescue Robbie who then leaves to save the other reindeer and goes after Blitzen. Prancer battles Jack and pulls of all of his mask and sees that Jack is a robot controlled by a hamster called Carlos. As Robbie and Blitzen battle Donner arrives and tells Robbie that he should have time for her so Robbie proposes to her which she accepts.
The two are able to defeat Blitzen and send him back to jail along with Carlos and his rabbit thugs. The film ends with Robbie and Donner attending a disco for the tourists in the building used for Blitzen's Reindeer World.
