RudoClar is the het ship between Rudolph and Clarice from the Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer fandom.

Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer (1964 Rankin/Bass Christmas Special)
During the reindeer games, another reindeer named Fireball tells Rudolph to try to get acquainted with a doe named Clarice. Rudolph walks up to Clarice and they introduce themselves to each other. She then tells him that she bets he will do the best at takeoff practice, making him blush. Rudolph shyly asks her to walk home together with him. Clarice accepts and tells him he is cute, this makes Rudolph very happy and he gains the ability to fly.

When Rudolph runs away from the reindeer games after being mocked by others for his red nose, Clarice follows Rudolph to comfort him. Clarice tells Rudolph that he promised to walk her home. Rudolph asks her if she's gonna laugh at his red nose, she instead says it's a handsome nose. Rudolph says his nose is terrible, but Clarice insists that there is nothing wrong with his nose and she thinks any doe would be luckly to be with him. Clarice sings the song "There's Always Tomorrow" to Rudolph, hoping to cheer him up.

While the song "A Holly Jolly Christmas" plays near the end of the 1964 Rankin/Bass Christmas Special, Rudolph kisses Clarice on the cheek while under a mistletoe.

Rudolph follows Clarice outside during a Christmas party. The song "Beyond The Stars" starts playing as they both run around having fun in the snow, later walking towards a cliff to gaze at the night sky together. Rudolph offers to teach Clarice how to fly tomorrow, which is also a date. The next day, the two meet up together again for the flying lesson. Rudolph tells Clarice he is considering changing his nose to become normal, but she responds by telling him she loves his nose and everthing about him. Rudolph asks Clarice if she knows how he feels about her, she responds by asking Rudolph to tell her now. He whispers in her ear, confessing his feelings for her. Upon hearing this, Clarice becomes really happy and gains the ability to fly.
