Dasher and Dancer
Santa’s choir has room for only one lead singer, and Dasher and Dancer, two singing reindeer with long white fur, compete for the spot with their Christmas songs. The contest invites young and old to join in, and your Christmas village fills with voices.
A contest that ends in a duet
Between one line and the next, Dasher and Dancer tease each other like two singers in a contest, then the music begins and the contest turns into a duet. Made in Italy and crafted with care from muzzle to antlers, these animatronic singing reindeer have a friendly rivalry that makes parents smile as much as children. All season long they bring the cheer of a North Pole concert to your garden centre.
Listen to their duet
Below you can hear Dasher and Dancer’s contest for a place in Santa’s choir and the two Christmas classics they sing together, before you even see them on stage.
