Santa’s Reindeers’ names
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house no one could remember the names of Santa’s reindeer:)
For anyone else trying to remember Santa’s reindeer names to tell the kids or win Trivial Pursuit here they are:
- Prancer
- Dancer
- Donner
- Blitzen
- Dasher
- Vixen
- Commet
- Cupid
- and, of course, Rudolph
But I also heard that it would take more than 214,000 reindeer to pull a sleigh of 333,333 tons (based on one soft toy per child I think it was) Now there is no way I’m going to list out 214,000 reindeer names, even if I had a hope of knowing them all!
Of course, whoever did those calculations didn’t factor in the magic of Santa or the white boomers so the 9 names above are enough for me!
Looking forward to my children reading Santa letters soon!

THank you for listing the reindeer names for us Anna.
And we understand why you didn’t list all 214,000 of them!
I can never remember how many reindeer there are so thank you for that.
Would the weight of sleigh change based on the size of the soft toy and if so, What is the size of each soft toy and the actual size of the sleigh in order to be 333,333 tons?
Interesting question Donna.
Logic says the weight of the sleigh must change depending on the weight of each toy, but the weight of any one toy is probably insignificant compared to the total sleigh weight!
If you want a maths problem solved, perhaps you could join in World Maths Day next year, build your maths skills or ask someone with maths expertise – Love Santa is about delighting chidlren with personalised letters and sharing the magic of Santa and Christmas. Good luck in your search!

That’s what I was loking for – a list of the reindeer, thanks! Do the white boomers also have names?
Of course the boomers have names but I don’t think they’ve ever been made public – certainly not in the original song.
I’ll check with Santa about giving out their names…
hi

The name of the Six White Boomers are as follows – Jackaroo, Bluey, Curly, Two-Up, Desert-Head, and Snow. Christmas and Santa is the Most Magical Time of the Year.
Do you work all year making the toys and do you have fun?
From Bettina Australia
Hi Bettina, Santa does work all year making and gathering gifts for the nice boys and girls. He does it because he loves children and it makes him happy to give to other people – that’s a pretty good way to be isn’t it?
Hope your Christmas is merry, Bettina
How come you never hear anything about the 10th reindeer “Olive”?
A: Yeah, you know, “Olive the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names”
hey Rodney – we do know about Olive and some of the others not included in ‘A visit from St Nicholas’. Always good to remember the less well known reindeer, isn’t it!
Thanks for joining in and have a great Christmas tomorrow!
hi how do you name all of the reindeers?
where do the reindeers stay when the six white boomers help?
do the reindeers just fly you every were?
what time do you leave home on christmas?
what is your favourite food?
Hi Shanyn, the reindeer stay in a remote place in Tasmania (being one of the coolest places in Australia) while the 6 white Boomers pull Santa’s sleigh across Australia and New Zealand.
Santa could use the reindeer at any time but he saves his magic and their effort for Christmas Eve. He leaves the North Pole after an early dinner on Christmas Eve – he can’t come to Australia too early as it doesn’t get dark unitl late in summer!
I can’t say what Santa’s favourite food it, but I do now he loves anything made by the children he loves – if you make something for Santa, I’m sure he’ll eat it all and love every crumb of it! That’s why he adds his recipes to his letters and we share some recipes for Santa snacks in this blog.
why cant you tell us Santas favourite food
Santa doesn’t want anyone to worry they haven’t given him the ‘right’ dish on Christmas Eve so he doesn’t tell people his favourite and he really loves so many snacks that he finds it hard to pick just one anyway, Shanyn!
How long dose it take to travel around the World

Thank you for listing the names of the 9 reindeer that pull Santa’s sleigh. I could not remember them in order much less out of order. I guess I need to get a hold of the sheet music too, with Christmas right around the corner! Of course my children love all of the Christmas songs and there are a few variations of Rudolph that they like, especially the one where his nose shines like a lightbulb!
You’re welcome lrlday
