What it’s about: A young man has to go on a mission to find his grandmother after she goes missing and, in the process, he has to prove that Santa Claus is real. He also has to prevent his mean cousin Mel from taking over the family store.

Jake’s grandmother gets lost one winter night. When Jake goes out to find her, he realizes that she’s been injured in a hit-and-run accident that is quite strange and involves Santa Claus.

Why you should watch it for the holidays: If you’re looking for an animated Christmas movie with quite a bit of humor involved, you might enjoy watching Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. Lots of Christmas songs are used as inspiration for children’s films, and this movie is the same. Based on the silly Christmas song of the same name, Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer tells the story of a young kid who has to help save his family’s store from their mean, cruel cousin.

This movie is a bit ridiculous in a fun way. If the song has ever made you laugh, and you just want something silly to watch on a night in during the holidays, you should give this film a try.
