The character originated in a story created by Robert L. May, a copywriter for Montgomery Ward, in 1939. The story was later adapted into a song written by Johnny Marks and recorded by Gene Autry in 1949.

The story tells the tale of Rudolph, a reindeer who is born with a bright red nose that glows. Initially, Rudolph is ostracized by the other reindeer because of his unusual nose. However, when Santa Claus encounters Rudolph and sees the brightness of his nose, he realizes that Rudolph's unique trait can be an asset.
Rudolph is then chosen to lead Santa's sleigh on a foggy Christmas Eve because his glowing nose can cut through the fog, ensuring a safe journey for Santa and the other reindeer. This unexpected turn of events transforms Rudolph from an outcast to a hero, emphasizing the message of embracing differences and recognizing the value in individual qualities.
The character of Rudolph has since become a beloved symbol of the holiday season, and the song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is often played during Christmas festivities. Additionally, Rudolph has been featured in various forms of media, including animated TV specials and movies, further solidifying his place in popular Christmas culture.
