Plot
A young boy named Andrew visits a Christmas tree farm with his family a few days before the holidays. Andrew instantly bonds with a young Husky pup named Jingle, who is searching for a home for Christmas. As the boy rides away, unable to keep him, the pup escapes and embarks on a snowy journey to find his friend again. Guided by a wise cardinal and the sound of jingle bells, Jingle receives the help he needs from Santa just in time for Christmas morning.Reception
In reviewing the 2011 television holiday special programs, Mike Hale of '' The New York Times'' called ''Jingle All the Way'' "...by far the best of the bunch. In addition to its charming art and pleasantly low-key storytelling, “Jingle” stands apart from the other holiday programs by not focusing on the manufacturing or delivery of toys." Hale also mentions, "For some honest emotion, and a combination of retro holiday spirit with adventurous animation, tune in for ''Jingle All the Way''...(it) looks like something you’d see at a European animation festival or late at night on Adult Swim, but it is also gentle and completely Hallmark-appropriate."Sequel
The sequel, ''Jingle and Bell's Christmas Star'', was released on the Hallmark Channel on November 23, 2012. This special introduces Bell, another plush toy in Hallmark's Husky Pups line. This show features a rendition of the song ''Jingle Bells'' performed by country music star Keith Urban.See also
