The red planet outsines the red-nosed reindeer this holiday. Although Rudolph may have a very shiny nose that glows like a light bulb, it's Mars that will glow in the sky on Christmas Eve.
"Plus it will be followed by a spectacular full moon," Horkheimer said. "They will track across the sky together all night long until sunrise Christmas morning."
"Rudolph can just stay home and chill out at the North Pole this Christmas Eve," Horkheimer said.
