Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer ®

A Take Flight Holiday Experience

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer® A Take Flight Holiday Experience shines like never before! This ride, based on the beloved television classic, uses the same stop-motion animation to deliver a visually brilliant, high-definition experience.

When young Rudolph is teased for his red nose and runs away from Christmastown, he sets off on a series of adventures, meets new friends Hermey the Elf and Yukon Cornelius along the way, and escapes the clutches of the Abominable Snow Monster. When an epic snowstorm threatens Christmas, can Rudolph rescue his family and friends and help save the holiday? This experience will run from November 15th, 2025 to January 15th, 2026.
