My 15 month old son LOVES this video. We bought it before Christmas and he's been watching it since. Someone likened it to a Barney-Coma, and I agree. It's like my son is in a trance when he watches this video, and the songs are so catchy my husband and I find ourselves singing them at work. The only problem is he cries for the remote saying "Barney" if it's not playing. We'll have to get Barney therapy!!! We are now looking for some other Barney tapes he's like as much as this one.

My twins (age 21 mo.) love Barney's - Night Before Christmas. It has been playing in our house every night since we brought it home. This is their 1st Christmas that they sort of understand and this video has been a wonderful way to introduce/show them all the wonderful things about Christmas. My daughter goes nuts when each of the characters show up, especially Barney! I have even found myself singing along to the old Christmas songs that I have forgot until now. Great addition to our video collection.

Barney is O.K. in my book, but with this video he really has me hooked! Great entertainment for my toddler son and for my husband and of course for me. The songs helped me remember my beautiful childhood Christmas memories. With this video I feel that I am able to introduce to my young yet very receptive and bright son the true meaning of Christmas, sharing with families and friends. I gave this video as a gift without watching it, after seeing how captivating and so very entertaining it is, it shall be a number one gift for the next Christmas season.

This tape is absolutely wonderful. I have to stop my 3 year old from watching it all throughout the summer. As soon as Halloween is over, she is starting to watch her Christmas tapes and make a Christmas list. The first Christmas tape that goes in is Barney's Night Before Christmas. We all enjoy the cute songs, especially the one that they play when they are on an adorable train ride through Santa's workshop. In the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, they sang the song on the Barney Float. It made watching the parade so much fun for not only my daughter, but my husband, myself, and our 13 year old son(12 at the time). We hope to see it this year. If you get this tape, you will thoroughly enjoy it.

My daughter, who just turned two at Christmas time, really likes Barney and this video was a big hit. I personally find it less annoying than other Barney videos for some reason. Perhaps it's just more acceptable to be sickeningly sweet at holiday time! My three year old niece also enjoyed watching it. This year she was old enough that holiday stuff could really be fun (she had fun when she was one but not quite the same) and I liked that she could have the typical things families do at Christmas (decorating, carols, etc.) reinforced in the video. Anyway - I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a nice holiday video for a small child.

I bought this video for my, now 3 1/2 year old, son and he loved it! We watched it almost every day during the Christmas season and sometime after that. This year we took it out for him and our 8 month old twin girls LOVE it!!! If they are really fussy and we just can't get them to quiet down, we pop in this Barney tape and they are immediately entranced. We call it the "Barney-coma." But it is a welcome calmer for two screaming babies! Overall, there is a great message about sharing, helping, togetherness for the holidays and friends. I actually enjoy the video and find myself singing the Christmas carols even when it isn't on!

With a creative plot and fun pace, this video gives a warm, happy atmosphere of Christmas. It's set at Hannah's house, so it's nice to see these kids as "real" with a real American house and parents. Then the kids travel to see Santa at his house and fill his stocking--Santa is beautiful and ideal, as is his workshop. Two original songs are well written and fun to sing well after the video's over. Cameo appearances of other Barney cast members give a feeling of togetherness, peace, and goodwill when everyone comes caroling at Hannah's house.

This is a video we'd like to watch year-round.

My two year old Grandson is the critic and it passed with flying colors. I loved it too.

My 3-year-old son and 14-month-old daughter received this movie from Santa. It has been on at least 5 times a day since...they love it!

This tape is cute but my son and I find it a little 'draggy'. There's not as much singing and dancing to keep his attention. He doesn't sit to watch the whole tape as he does for lots of other Barney tapes. My 19 month old son seems to like 'waiting for santa' much better. He watches the entire show and I can get things done around the house too that way. "waiting for Santa seems to have more singing and dancing that he enjoys to keep his attention.
