The film had a sequel, titled simply Spike 2 (they were released together in DVD.) Taking place a year later, Tony (the polar bear thief from the first part) has been forced to work at the Workshop to make amends. He claims to be rehabilitated- but no sooner he leaves than Santa's reindeer are kidnapped! Spike and his friends (with the help of female elf cousin, a would-be TV reporter) must find and rescue them.
