Santa vs. the Snowman is a 1997 American animated Christmas comedy television special created by Steve Oedekerk and produced by O Entertainment.

The special was voiced by Jonathan Winters, Ben Stein, Victoria Jackson, Mark DeCarlo and David Floyd, and narrated by Don LaFontaine.

On one particular night, the stars answer back, a flash of light zooms past the Snowman and shatters his flute.

While Santa is chatting with his elves, who praise him highly, the Snowman finds a red and gold flute in the workshop.

It seems that Santa has a marvelous home, many friends, plenty of toys, and is loved by everybody, but he wouldn't let the Snowman have the flute.

The Snowman sneaks onto a guided village train tour, where he takes pictures with a camera disguised as an ice cream cone.

Since Christmas is only hours away, Santa decides to help his elves end the conflict, and enters the battle in a large Nutcracker mech.

The Snowman, feeling wonderful because everyone will soon love him, soars above the rooftops in a snow replica of Santa's sleigh, while his minions act as his reindeer.

As they are about to part ways, the Snowman discovers that his sleigh and his minions had melted from the heat of the little girl's chimney.

Santa vs. the Snowman 3D was released on 3D-DVD, including 4 pairs of 3D glasses, on October 12, 2004, by Universal Studios Home Video.
