"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is back on NBC! In honor of the Christmas film's 60th anniversary, NBC will air a special extended version of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” this holiday season.

The Christmas classic holiday special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is returning to NBC after more than five decades at CBS.

There was his nose, to begin with. In the first version of “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” it glowed “like the eyes of a cat,” and Rudolph’s friends nicknamed him Ruddy because of it.
