This escalated quickly.

The Stranger Things kids may be incredibly close, but they don't always agree on everything.

Whether it's to do with who's dressing up as which ghostbuster for Halloween or how best to find Will Byers, the crew have had their fair share of disagreements in the past.

And apparently reindeer are no exception.

This argument started – as many arguments presumably do – on Thanksgiving, when Gaten Matarazzo (a.k.a. Dustin) shared a video of himself ranting about Rudolph.

"No one likes Rudolph, alright?" yells Matarazzo in that clip, prompting an audible gasp from whoever's holding the camera. "He has a shiny nose, that's all he's got going for him."

That video's had 5,000+ retweets, and almost 47,000 likes at the time of writing.

But one person who definitely didn't like it was Matarazzo's co-star, Finn Wolfhard (a.k.a. Mike).

"Who do you think you are, trampling all over my favorite reindeer?" says Wolfhard in the video below, before launching into a blistering riposte.

No response yet from Matarazzo, but we can't imagine he'll take that lying down.

If you can't argue aggressively about reindeer at Christmas time, then when can you argue aggressively about reindeer?
