Christmas Eve on Sesame Street

Christmas Eve is upon the entire Sesame Street gang in this funny and sweet one-hour television special. Oscar the Grouch has Big Bird worried about Santa Claus arriving and bringing everyone presents. Meanwhile, Bert and Ernie struggle to get something nice for each other in a brilliant re-telling of "Gift of the Magi." And Cookie Monster is having trouble conveying to Santa Claus just what he would like for Christmas. Filled with laughter (the scenes with Kermit and Grover questioning the kids are priceless!), music, and all-around Christmas magic, "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" is a wonderful Christmas special, and provided childhood memories that I will always treasure.

Everyone has grown up with Sesame Street (at least I did) and this movie was one of my favorites, and still is. I was cleaning out for a garage sale and found the tape of this movie. I immediately went upstairs and popped it in, even though it was the middle of August, and I had flashbacks of watching this movie when I was 3 years old.

Of course it is hard to find now, probably out of print, but I still have my beat up old tape of this, that I now take good care of.

Yes, I am an adult now, and every Christmas season, I revist this movie to rekindle what it was like to be a child.

If you can find it, this is a movie for anyone who grew up watching Sesame Street, and a movie for the vulnerable kid inside us who still believes in magic, something we need in the world today.

9/10

This is the best Christmas movie!! I grew up watching and can't go a year without it. Its a classic & I definitely agree they should continue to show it!! It has qualities that new Christmas specials don't incorporate anymore & it would be wonderful to show to a new generation!!! I also had it on a fuzzy aged VHS and just ordered it on DVD for this Christmas. I can't wait to show it to my kids in a few years as they get older!!!! If you've seen this write to PBS to ask them to keep showing it!! Show it to your kids... its funny, cute, includes all the favorite characters and teaches important lessons about giving and the holiday spirit. Bert & Ernie still make me cry happy tears each year and remind me what the holidays are really about!!!

Ok, this is one of the best Christmas specials i have ever seen in my whole freakin life!!!!

By the way I am already 15, and I can happily say that this is my favorite Christmas special other than, A Muppet Christmas Carol.

But this movie is the best because of all of the great music, Keep Christmas With You, that song is kind of addicting, and if you have not seen this movie, you have to go buy it next time you see it.

This movie was easliy the best Sesame Street production ever!!

I have to say, I grew up on this movie and it is the best! I am 29 years old now, and I am thrilled that you can now buy it on DVD. I can't wait to continue the Christmas tradition from when I was a little girl watching it with my sister and brother and parents, and one day soon watch it with my children!!! If anyone is considering this movie for your children, I highly recommend it! As anyone can see, Sesame Street is the best, it's sweet and always educational. There are little lessons in every story line in this movie, not to mention the music is great. Thank you Sesame Street for providing children (and parents) with so much joy!
