There were 8 reindeer in the poem twas the night before Christmas.
The reindeer rhyme refers to a popular mnemonic device used to remember the names of Santa's reindeer in the poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement Clarke Moore. The names are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph.
Rudolph was written in 1939 as an advertising gimmick for the Montgomery Ward department store. It was intended to be a promotional give-away book, but the tale quickly became popular. In 1947, the author, Robert L. May, bought the copyright from the department store and began to market Rudolph. The song was recorded in 1949 by Gene Autry, and the rest is history. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was written in 1949 by U.S. songwriter Johnny Marks. He took the idea from a verse written in 1939 by his brother-in-law, Robert L. May.
The reindeer not mentioned in the poem "The Night Before Christmas" is Rudolph. The poem features Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen as the eight reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh. Rudolph was later added to the reindeer lineup in a separate story.
In "The Night Before Christmas" by Clement C. Moore, Santa's reindeer Donner's name is traditionally spelled "Dasher". There might be variations in different tellings of the story, but "Dasher" is the most commonly used spelling for that particular reindeer.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer first appeared in a story written by Robert L. May in 1939. The character gained widespread popularity after a song based on the story was recorded by Gene Autry in 1949.
Yes, Rudolph is an official reindeer character in popular culture. He was created by Robert L. May in 1939 as part of a promotional campaign for Montgomery Ward. Rudolph became widely known through the song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and various adaptations, making him a beloved figure in Christmas folklore.

I think it is Donner, Dancer, Vixen, Dasher, Comit, Cupid, Rudolph, Vixen and there is one other which i cant think of. sorii.
It was broadcast for the first time in 1964. It was slightly modified in 1965, because the producers didn't show Santa stopping at the Island of Misfit Toys to pick them up, and a massive write-in campaign (of watchers taken with the adorable Misfit Toys) prompted them to add the scene when Santa comes to pick them up.
Analysis: If we're really going to let science be our guide in this matter, the first thing we have to admit is that reindeer don't fly, let alone haul a jolly fat elf around in an airborne sleigh. And if we start down that slippery slope, there's only one conclusion we can possibly reach: Santa Claus doesn't exist. That way lies madness.
But there is a loophole.
It is a fact, reindeer experts say, that both the male and female of the species have antlers. It is also a fact that while most cows retain their antlers until spring, most bulls drop their antlers by early December. Which is worrisome, I know, but the key word is most.
The experts go on to explain that some younger bulls, depending upon hereditary and environmental factors, may keep their antlers well into spring --- even as late as April.
So it is plausible to suppose that if, for the sake of argument, there were a Santa Claus, and if, for the sake of argument, he did circumnavigate the globe in a reindeer-powered sleigh every December 25th, then at least some of those reindeer --- including one in particular with a shiny, red nose --- could be males.
Chalk one up for tradition, if just barely.
