Oh no! Christmas is approaching but Santa Claus is trapped on a beach in Florida! A bunch of kids try to help him move his sled but the children are useless! Maybe Santa’s friend, the Ice Cream Bunny, can help. While Santa waits for the Bunny to show up, he tells the kids a story.
It’s a bit difficult to explain the plot of 1972’s Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny. It’s even more difficult to explain why I can’t help but love this odd movie. The Ice Cream Bunny driving to the rescue is one of my favorite holiday images. Don’t ask me why he’s the Ice Cream Bunny. Don’t ask me why Santa needs the help of a giant rabbit. Don’t ask me why Santa’s on a beach in Florida in the first place.
Just enjoy this holiday oddity!
