Oh, gracious me, I JUST found it.
In case anyone was wondering, apparently it is called "White Christmas" (At least, according to Youtube) and involves children Dorothy and Peter in Weatherland.
It was a Christmas special. Animated, 2d.
It was about a boy and a girl who lived in one of the more Southern states where snow is rare (I think they might have been in California?). Both of them really wanted to see a white Christmas, but their parents informed them that where they lived it probably wouldn’t happen.
Both of them wrote their letters to Santa and left them on the table for him to read on Christmas eve for some reason.
Sure enough, Santa arrives, but when he sees that they have asked for a white Christmas he is worried. He wakes them up and informs them that he is taking them to a magical land that I cannot remember the name of, but think was in the clouds. He tells them that his magic can’t give them what they want, but maybe someone in the magical land has the right kind of magic for it.
First, the kids ask Jack Frost, but he replies that he can only do frost, not snow. Both Jack and another character that I cannot really remember accompany the children on their journey.
Eventually, the children meet two old men who I think were named “The Wizards of Winter” The wizards agree to make it snow on Christmas day and the children are sent home.
The children wake up in the morning and enjoy Christmas morning outside with their parents, wondering if they dreamed the whole thing because there is no snow. As it turns out, the wizards just overslept. We see them casting a spell, which I think included the words “sun be cold!” The snow begins to fall, and the children get the white Christmas that they always wanted.
I saw this special a couple of times but cannot for the life of me remember what it was called. No one else seems to remember it either, and I can’t find any mention of it on the internet. Does anyone have any idea or even memory of this special? I grew up in Southern Ontario in Canada, if that helps.
