This silent short was produced by Thomas Edison's pioneering film studio in 1905.

It sees the classic Christmas poem, 'The Night Before Christmas' being brought to life by director Edwin S Porter.

It offers a fascinating look into the early days of cinema, with the model reindeer racing across the snowy North Pole landscape is Newstalk's highlight.

An anonymous, but considerate, Internet user has added music from the period to the piece.
