DIY COSTUME ITEMS
Costume Guide
Yukon Cornelius, the beloved character from the 1964 Rankin/Bass television special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, has a distinctive costume that makes him easily recognizable. If you are a fan of the character and want to dress up as him for a cosplay event or Halloween, here’s what you’ll need to complete the look.
The first and most important part of the costume is Yukon Cornelius’ iconic pom cap and yellow ear muffs. The cap is red in color. You can purchase one online or if you already have one then use that. Next, you’ll need a warm and rugged jacket. Yukon Cornelius wears a blue-colored coat that looks like it would be perfect for the harsh winter weather of the North Pole. You can find a similar coat at a thrift store or online. For pants, Yukon Cornelius wears Blue pants with black boots. Any pair of Blue pants will work, and you can find black boots at a shoe store or online.
Finally, don’t forget to add some accessories to complete the look. Yukon Cornelius always carries a pickax with him, which you can purchase or make yourself with some cardboard and paint. You can also add a fake beard and mustache to really sell the look.
When it comes to cosplaying as Yukon Cornelius, the key is to embrace the character’s rugged and adventurous spirit. Don’t be afraid to get into character and shout out his trademark call, “Bumble!” at appropriate moments. With the right costume and attitude, you’ll be able to bring the beloved character to life and spread some holiday cheer wherever you go.
