Jingle All the Way: Test Your Knowledge of Christmas Trivia!
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen are all well known. But can you name the most famous reindeer of all?
Correct Incorrect Rudolph stands out as the most renowned reindeer. Interestingly, he was not included in the original lineup from Clement Clarke Moore's 1823 poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," where the reindeer were referred to as Dunder and Blixem instead of Donner and Blitzen. Rudolph gained fame through a 1939 poem by Robert L. May, which later inspired the beloved song by his brother-in-law, Johnny Marks. Although he joined Santa's reindeer team later on, Rudolph has undoubtedly left a significant mark on Christmas lore.
