Video of the Week!

Yep, Christmas is definitely in the air in SanrioTown! If last week’s starring video wasn’t enough, this week’s Dream Studio creation we’re featuring is also holiday-related, and this time, the spotlight is on Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer!

Rudolph Once Again“, by foxfyre1, is a really cute video featuring the red-nosed reindeer in some of his incarnations. Some well-known Christmas characters also make appearances there, so be sure to keep an eye out for them. A Jolly Christmas song plays in the background to heighten the holiday vibe of the video.

Be sure to check out the video at http://video.sanriotown.com/video/80b73e8064a9185c.
