Santa Claus lives with his magical creatures (elves and reindeer) in Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland, surrounded by arctic nature. Every day, Santa receives thousands of letters from children around the world (and even from adults). Santa is occupied all year to make all this possible, reviewing thousands of letters and wishes, caring for the reindeer and elves to ensure they are in good health, and preparing gifts and wrapping them for delivery.

Santa's sleigh is made of wood and has been operating for over 1740 years. Nothing good maintenance can't do, hmm? Santa's sleigh was designed to accommodate thousands of gift packages and travel long distances. It has a range of +1,000,000 miles! Impressive. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Cupid, Comet, Donner, Blitzen, and especially Rudolph, the leading reindeer that lights up the skies with its bright red nose, are in position for yet another Christmas mission. Reindeers are the only earthly beings capable of taking off due to their unique magic (the Christmas spirit).
The names of Santa’s reindeer - Image Source: Society6.com
Dasher
Dasher gets his name because he is the fastest reindeer of the whole pack. He used to be the lead reindeer but was replaced by Rudolph because he kept going too quickly, and the rest of the group couldn’t keep up! He first caught Santa’s eye as a young calf when he challenged all of the older reindeer to a race and comfortably beat them all. Every day since, he has not stopped trying to race the other reindeer, which gets on their nerves because they all know he will win! Because of his natural speed, Dasher can get complacent and often doesn’t turn up to sleigh riding training, so Santa sometimes has to tell him off!
Dancer
The reindeer with the most flair and elegance, ever since Dancer could walk, all he wanted to do was dance. Constantly putting on performances for the other reindeer, Dancer was even offered a contract to perform on Broadway. Still, his ultimate dream was to work for Santa and help deliver presents on Christmas Eve. He studied hard with his twin brother Prancer at the Reindeer Aviation Academy in Lapland to graduate with his Christmas Wings and achieve his ambition.
Prancer
Prancer is a supremely graceful and majestic reindeer, just like his twin brother, but he is all too aware. Every Christmas Eve, Santa Claus has to drag him away from preening himself in the mirror and polishing his horns to go and deliver the presents on time. Prancer and Dancer are tied next to each other in the pack so that Dancer can keep an eye on his easily distracted twin brother.
Vixen
Voted as Reindeer Monthly’s most beautiful reindeer of all time, Vixen always attracts much attention from male reindeer. Cupid, in particular, is besotted with her prettiness and elegant flying style. It is no secret that Vixen enjoys this interest, as she is known as a notorious flirt and will flutter her long eyelashes at anyone to get her way.
Comet
Comet is the strongest reindeer known for being a stubborn but loyal team member. He was named after an enormous comet that flew through the skies when he was born, which would foretell Comet’s future as a famous flying reindeer.
Cupid
Cupid is the most romantic and passionate of all the reindeer. Born on Valentine’s Day, Cupid has taken it upon himself to act as a matchmaker amongst the Lapland reindeer. Unfortunately, he has not been as successful with his love life as with the others, like celebrity couple Rudolph and Zoey. Madly in love with Vixen, he constantly tries to impress her; although Santa has to separate them, sin keeps flying into obstacles and cannot take his eyes off her.
Donner
Sometimes known as Donder and Dunder, Donner’s name means “thunder,” she is not a reindeer to be messed with! Married to Blitzen, they are the mum and dad of the reindeer group and have to discipline the younger ones if they step out of line. Donner looks after the others, from ensuring their hooves are clean to cooking hearty meals before distributing presents on their long journeys.
Blitzen
Husband to Donner, Blitzen is the bravest member of the team, never one to back down or give up in the face of adversity. He encourages the rest of the team, even through the most brutal storms, to ensure they successfully deliver their presents in time for Christmas morning. Some people say his name means “lightning” because he has been struck so many times. Together with Donder, they make a formidable couple that is the backbone of this magnificent bunch.
Rudolph
Rudolph is the youngest and most famous reindeer, universally celebrated for his heroics in the storm of 1939. No one knows how he was born with his legendary bright red nose, but children worldwide are happy he was as he has led the team through many wintery nights as a shining beacon. At first, Dasher was not very happy to have been replaced as lead reindeer, but after seeing how well Rudolph could guide the sleigh through even the thickest fog, he was quickly won over and only too happy to act as second in command.
Santa Tracker
Celebrating its 1741st anniversary, Santa Claus is ready for another Christmas mission! He and his nine flying reindeer will travel the world at 70,000 feet and 400 knots, distributing gifts and positive energies to those who have behaved well this year.
