D-Dawg, Buddha, Budderball, Rosebud, and Mudbud are back, and this time they're on a mission to save Christmas. As Santa Paws prepares to deliver fantastic presents to good little pups all over the world, his son Puppy Paws grows weary of the cold northern winds. Sneaking a peek at dad's naughty and nice list, Puppy Paws notices that Budderball is about to get passed over for a present this year, and ventures out to help him get back into Santa's good graces. But while Puppy Paws is away, the enchanted Christmas Icicle begins to melt. Should it manage to drip away into nothing, the true meaning of Christmas will be forgotten forever. With Christmas fast approaching, Puppy Paws, Budderball, and the gang all race to ensure that the holidays remain joyous for generations to come. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
It's not as good as the previous Space Buddies was, but with a Christmas theme, it makes a great thing to watch with the family during the holidays.
-
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
Without a doubt the worst Buddies movie and one of the more tedious holiday films I've had to sit through.
-
Brian Orndorf, DVDTalk.com
It's a tidy story, but never remarkable, and a few burp jokes reveal disconcerting limitations to the goodwill of the film.
-
Ryan Cracknell, Movie Views
Santa Buddies is the equivalent of a flaming bag of doggie dung on your doorstep: it's impossible to explain what you did to deserve it and you want it gone and forgotten as soon as possible.
-
Sierra Filucci, Common Sense Media
Popular puppy series adds a cheery holiday message.
