Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe painting hanging in Santa Claus' bedroom is the same one that is put up in the town hall at the end of Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970).
- GoofsMother Nature tells Snow Miser to allow snow in Southtown, and Heat Miser to allow a warm day at the North Pole. But that's backwards -- it would be Heat Miser allowing snow in Southtown and Snow Miser allowing warmth at the North Pole.
- Quotes
Snow Miser: So, Mrs. C., how's your hubby?
Mrs. Santa: Not too good, Snowy, he's got a bad cold.
Snow Miser: Aw, that's a shame. He should've come to see me, I'd've given him a good one! HO HA HO... a little chilly humor, there.

Featured review
This is it - Heat Miser and Snow Miser!!
Almost everyone who was a child in the US during the early to mid-70s seems to remember that Christmas special with Heat Miser and Snow Miser, but no one can remember the title, or much else about the show. After finally tracking it down and watching it again after all these years, I can understand why. The non-Miser Brothers parts don't hold up so well for this adult, at least. I guess the thought of a sulky, depressed Santa isn't as dramatic as it seemed when I was five. However, my brother and I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to sing along again with "He's Mister Heat Miser, he's Mister Sun...."
It's a mystery to me why the folks marketing the video give only a plot summary on the package with no mention of what kids find most memorable. This is also true of most the guides to holiday viewing in the entertainment magazines. Hint to marketing people: make sure you advertise this as the one with Heat Miser and Snow Miser in it, and everyone born between about '66 and '72 will be buying it for their kids, if not themselves.
