Nollaí (Welsh: Nolig) is a short Irish and Welsh animated Christmas film. Nollaig ("Nollaí" for short) is just an ordinary reindeer. Maybe he's a bit taller than the other reindeer but he's always been told he's just big-boned. Nollaí has a great life on the farm with his human family, until he finds out that there's a chance he is actually an Irish Elk! This sends Nollaí on an adventure of discovery to find out about his origins.[1][2][3]

This is the first animated Christmas film ever to have been jointly commissioned by TG4, BBC NI, and S4C. It is a result of cultural collaboration between Ireland and Wales. Nollaí was first released on the same day by Cúla4, TG4, BBC 2 NI and S4C.[2]
