About the Film:
The North Pole has a new litter of playful pups! However, when the frisky foursome—Hope, Jingle, Charity and Noble—practically destroy Santa’s Workshop with their mischievous gamboling, they realize the best way to prove that they’re responsible enough to become Santa’s Helpers is to show how well they can spread the Christmas spirit all by themselves. With help from a magic crystal, they start granting everyone’s wishes. But their good intentions backfire when one unhappy boy asks that Christmas go away forever! With his wish impetuously fulfilled, and the joyous spirit quickly disappearing from the planet, Mrs. Claus and the pups have to find a way to reverse the spell—or risk losing Christmas forever.

About The Pups:
This cute litter consists of three female pups and one male pup. HOPE is the daring tomboy who wears a backwards red cap and rarely looks before she leaps. JINGLE is the diva with a bell on her collar who loves to sing, but can’t carry a tune. CHARITY is the girliest and most self-centered of the pups, with a mistletoe barrette, who has yet to learn the meaning of her name. And NOBLE is the mischievous only brother and self-appointed leader who is distinguished by a cheeky black spot around his eye.

About The Popular Disney Buddies Franchise:

Since the 1997 big-screen debut of the sports-minded Golden Retriever star “Buddy,” audiences loved the high-stakes antics in the “AIR BUD” movie series with its fantastic sports-themed adventures including basketball, football, soccer, volleyball and even America’s national pastime – baseball!

A quintet of adorable talking puppies followed the “Bud” movies in 2006, with the highly- anticipated launch of the BUDDIES series with “AIR BUDDIES” – and so the puppy craze began! “SNOW BUDDIES” released in 2008, “SPACE BUDDIES” in 2009, “SANTA BUDDIES: THE LEGEND OF SANTA PAWS” in 2009, “THE SEARCH FOR SANTA PAWS” in 2010, “SPOOKY BUDDIES” in 2011 and “TREASURE BUDDIES” in 2012.

For the past four years in a row, these films have remained as the #1 best-selling, live- action direct-to-video movies in the family category.

My Review! 
My daughter LOVES dogs. And when I say LOVES, I mean that she has BEGGED for a dog for the past year and a half. She is only 5. So I just knew that she would love this movie! And I was right. She is beginning to get into the Christmas spirit, so when I showed her there was a Christmas movie with puppies in it, it was all over. The television was hers for the rest of the afternoon. I love all the Christmas music in the movie. I think that it was a very adorable movie for the family and I am pretty sure that it will remain a holiday favorite for a long time.
