Good puppet shows
We borrowed this DVD from the library two weeks ago and my 2.5 year old daughter wants to watch it every day. She really enjoys the puppet shows, such as the "play" that Sesame street characters put on about the "first Christmas" and when Elmo was dancing African dances, and the Jingle Bell song part. She watches it again and again. As an adult, I found these parts to be cute too, but I don't understand why they choose to spend so much time on Kwanzaa. If one tries to be international, what about the Asian holidays which are so obviously left out in this program?

My daughter is in LOVE with this DVD.
My almost 2 year old loves this DVD. I started letting her watch it about 2 weeks ago (figured I'd wait till November at least). It's a pretty nice overview of 3 holidays and it moves along so she's constantly entertained. It gets me through making dinner which is what I need!

A "Holiday" dvd not for C_____MAS!!
This dvd is typical of a PC company trying to make peace with all religous holidays. i mean they go on and on for all holidays EXCEPT for CHRISTmas! i mean come on even non believers know what started the day of December 25 holiday we believers call CHRISTmas. It barley mentions Jesus stating he was a good teacher or something like that but goes on about santa claus. i know why sesame street does the things they do but i want to raise my kids to know Jesus and the real reason for the season! If you are a christian parent steer clear of this nonsense! Christmas eve on sesame street isn't so bad, i'm guessing because it was made before being a christian offended people!!

Very good but tiresome
As an adult it is sometimes difficult to fully comprehend the impact of Elmo, but my kids really love him. This, according to them is a real favourite. It is however holiday oriented, but they do not mind and want to watch this one any time of the year actually. As I wrote, for an adult, this is inexplicable, but...it is better than other programmes, so I can only listen to their recommendation.

Well worth it!
I bought this DVD approx. a month before Christmas for my almost 2 year old daughter. She watched the Elmo Happy Holidays DVD EVERY DAY and never got tired or bored of it. The DVD is entertaining, educational and fun to watch. It is a wonderful DVD for any child who loves Elmo and well worth the money.

Daughter's Favorite Christmas DVD
We used to get this from our library every year. This would have been the third year to watch it for my soon to be five year old daughter but when I went to place it on hold at the library website I found out that their only copy had been lost. How could I not spend nine bucks to complete my daughter's Christmas? She was so excited when I pulled it out of the box and wanted to watch it right away. She really would have flipped if she had known that there were also pink magnetix in the box. LOL!

Happy Holidays is biased and uneven in its coverage
Although I generally love Elmo's World DVDs, I found the bias in this one troubling. Why is Kelly Ripa telling people about Kwanzaa? Shouldn't a black host be informing kids about this holiday? Kelly says she has never been to Africa. Well that's helpful. And then we get Kelly's take on Hanukkah, which also seems off. Really, she shouldn't be talking about either holiday.
Don't be fooled, this one's about Christianity and Christmas. This may seem extreme, but I really feel the subtext of this video is "if you aren't Christian, you are second class and you get a second class holiday." I expect more from these Sesame St videos, because so many supposedly intelligent people are supposed to be involved in making and approving them.

The Best Elmo's World!
Elmo's World Happy Holidays is a great DVD. It is educational as well as entertaining. Elmo learns about Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanza. This DVD mesmorizes my 20 month old daughter. She has been watching it for months. It is guaranteed to stop her tantrum and give me 50 minutes to clean the house, do laundry, etc.

Elmo...always a favorite.
We bought this at Christmas time. My son always loves Elmo, so this was just a cute holiday movie.

Nice, but long and detailed for kids
This is a good DVD and has lots of info about all the holidays in winter: Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. I bought this for my two year old and it's a little involved for him. The running time is an hour, but the video is pretty dry at parts. It is a good education movie about holidays, but older kids may benefit more from it. A good purchase, but one to be watched with your child.
