PRANCER (1989)

Refusing to give up her belief in Santa Claus, a child, Jessica Riggs, discovers a hurt reindeer in the woods, which she believes to be Prancer. With the help of a sympathetic veterinarian, Jessica takes care of the wounded creature. It’s supposed to be a secret, but eventually a store Santa Claus, the girl’s dad and the entire town find out about Prancer, leading to big problems for Jessica and her family.
Prancer stars a few familiar faces including Sam Elliot, but there was one face that actually ends up in two 1989 Christmas movies and that is The Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki. It’s fun to end up in one classic Christmas film, but two Christmas movies? The other being Christmas Vacation.
