"Red Sleigh Down" is episode 96 of the Comedy Central series South Park. It originally aired on December 11, 2002. In the episode, Cartman has to score one big "nice" on Santa's list to be eligible for Christmas presents. He recruits Santa, Mr. Hankey, and Jesus in a desperate attempt to bring Christmas to the downtrodden citizens of Iraq. Things go awry and when Santa is shot down in Iraq, Jesus comes to his aid. Because fans were so upset over his absence throughout the season, this episode is notable for the return of Kenny from his death in season five. The title and episode parody the films Black Hawk Down and Three Kings, and Lethal Weapon is referenced during an interrogation scene.
