The cover to the Blu-ray release.

Santa Buddies (also known as Santa Buddies: The Legend of Santa Paws) is a direct-to-video film produced by The Walt Disney Company, and the fourth installment of the Air Buddies film series [originally based on the character "Air Bud", created & trained by Kevin DiCicco]. It was released on November 24, 2009.

Synopsis

Santa Buddies 02

The movie begins at the North Pole with Santa Claus and his dog Santa Paws taking a look at the magical Christmas Icicle, which is melting because of nobody believing in Christmas anymore, and if it continues to melt, Christmas will be gone forever.

Puppy Paws is the fun-loving son of Santa Paws who gets tired of the North Pole and finds Budderball on Santa's naughty list for eating the Thanksgiving turkey and figures he's just the dog to show him how to be an ordinary pup. The film then moves forward to The Buddies in Fernfield, who also don't have any Christmas spirit, believe that their father is Santa Paws and that the naughty list is a way to scare them to behave. However, Sniffer replies that Christmas is about giving and a holiday they must learn to respect.

The Christmas Icicle makes a big crack and shuts of the power at the North Pole and makes the reindeer weak and powerless (earlier before he left the North Pole, Puppy Paws stares at the icicle stating "I wish Christmas would just disappear" causing it to crack).

Puppy Paws makes it to Fernfield to find Budderball in his home and Budderball himself introduces Puppy Paws to his brothers and sister and the North Pole puppy causes trouble to each of the Buddies: Budderball gets framed for eating the gingerbread cookies as he tries to get back on the nice list, B-Dawg gets beaten by Puppy Paws at dancing who even breaks a vase, Mudbud teaches Puppy Paws to roll in the dirt and unaware not to shake dirt out of his fur in the living room makes holiday shapes of the dirt spots causing Mudbud to wear a cover-up coat for the rest of the day, Rosebud gets an extreme Christmas makeover, and Buddha's medidation statue gets turned into a snowman as Puppy Paws explains that the snowman is "what citizens of the North Pole medidate in front of".

Therefore, due to the incidents, the Buddies want Puppy Paws to leave. But, they learn that Puppy Paws isn't hurting them as they are hurting themselves and decide to treat him with compassionate. Suddenly, Puppy Paws gets dognapped by a dog catcher named Mr. Stan Cruge and takes him to the pound. There, Puppy Paws meets a puppy named Tiny who is wishing for a Christmas miracle and sings a song about miracles, which teaches Puppy Paws himself about the true meaning of Christmas.

The Buddies, along with an elf dog named Eddy, have come to the rescue. With Tiny and Eddy still in the pound, the elf dog speaks to Cruge that he knows the dog catcher always wanted a puppy for Christmas, but his mother was allergic to dogs and never got one, which made Cruge hate Christmas and becoming a dog catcher. Eddy becomes free from the pound and changes Cruge.

With help fom an elf named Eli, Christmas spirit returns, the Christmas Icicle stops melting, and the North Pole is back in business, with Puppy Paws and the Buddies making it to the North Pole. The reindeer are not able to fly and Puppy Paws and the Buddies volunteer to save Christmas. A changed Mr. Cruge brings Tiny over to the child who has been asking for a puppy as a Christmas present and Tiny herself says her goodbye to the Buddies and Puppy Paws. After their last delivery, Santa Claus and Santa Paws arrive in Fernfield and Santa makes the Buddies (including Budderball) on top of the nice list, Puppy Paws becomes one of Santa's family, and the Buddies say farewell.

Mr. Cruge gets invited to dinner with Tiny's new family and the movie ends with the entire town, led by Cruge, singing "Silent Night" in front of Fernfield's Christmas Tree as celebrating the holidays.
