Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July is a heartwarming animated Christmas film released in 1979 starring Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman.

The story of the film takes place during the summer season when Rudolph meets up with his old friend Frosty. The storyline is set in motion when Rudolph receives a letter from Lady Boreal, the Queen of the Northern Lights, informing him that the magic of Christmas is fading fast. The duo sets out to find the cause of the problem, and it turns out that an evil sorcerer named Winterbolt is behind it.

Winterbolt had been sent spiraling into the ocean decades ago and is now back with a vengeance. He wants to stop Christmas from happening and is using his magic powers to do so. He convinces Rudolph to help him find the Rainbow Bridge, which will enable him to gain immortality. In exchange for Rudolph's help, he promises to restore Frosty's magic hat, which had been stolen by a group of pirates.

Frosty's magic hat is essential because it enables him to remain alive and keeps him from melting away. Rudolph and Frosty then set off to find the pirates and retrieve the hat. Along the way, they meet a friendly whale named Big Ben, who helps them navigate the waters. Along with Big Ben, Rudolph and Frosty also come across Lily Loraine, a struggling performer who dreams of becoming a star.

As Rudolph and Frosty navigate the journey to find the pirate, they encounter many obstacles and face some tough decisions. The Pirate captain, meanwhile, seeks to sell the hat to the highest bidder. Will Rudolph and Frosty be able to retrieve the hat in time to save Christmas, and will Winterbolt finally achieve his quest to become immortal?
