'''''The Year Without a Santa Claus''''' is a [[Rankin/Bass Productions]] [[Stop Motion]] puppet-animated [[Christmas Special|holiday special]] (called "Animagic") from 1974.
 
[[Santa Claus]] (voiced by Mickey Rooney, reprising his role from 1970's ''[[Santa Claus is Comin' to Town]]'') decides to take a holiday from Christmas when he becomes convinced that nobody really cares anymore. In an effort to get Christmas back on, [[Mrs. Claus]] (voiced by [[Shirley Booth]]) sends a pair of elves out to find enough Christmas spirit left in the world to make Santa change his mind. [[Hilarity Ensues]], contributed to in no small part by the memorable obstructiveness of the climate-ruling Miser Brothers, Snow Miser ([[Dick Shawn]]) and Heat Miser ([[George S. Irving]]).
