I picked this CD up at Target for $5.99. The songs on this are very cute, but beware that this CD is only 10 minutes and 48 seconds long. The first time I played it I thought there was something wrong with my CD player until I realized that the CD was actually finished. It doesn't even seem worth $6 for 11 minutes of songs.

Here is the playlist:

Straw-buh-buh-buh-buh-berry Shortcake - 1:03

Call Me Santa - 1:23

Deck the Halls - 0:31

Jingle Bells - 0:48

Holidayland (A Place Full of Joy) - 1:53

Sugar Berry Fairy - 0:50

Hello-Ho-Ho - 1:33

Christmas Morning - 0:48

The Gift of Friendship - 1:55

All of the songs from the cartoon are great, but I feel that they could have made Jingle Bells and Deck the Halls longer and added some other well known holiday songs for some length. I wish that the CD case had printed the length of the CD, because had I known it would be as short as it is, I would have purchased a different children's Christmas CD. I think this is a good buy if you have a Strawberry Fanatic in your home. My girls like Strawberry Shortcake and they seem to enjoy songs number one and two on the CD, but they aren't big enough fans for me to consider this CD a good value for my dollar.

ok, so I didn't expect depth, but there was a day when even the Smurfs put out a holiday album that wasn't total crap like this one is!

it is more than shallow, it is short & painfully secular!

there is NOTHING Christmas about this, except for the overtly PC songs...

"Strawberry Shortcake: Berry Merry Christmas" is a very short CD, but it doesn't matter when you get such excellent songs, especially if you can get it on a bargain. This album features nine tunes, some coal and some instrumental. Many of them are from the "Strawberry Shortcake" special by the same name.

All of the songs on this CD are great, but two are especially worth noting. "Holidayland (A Place Full of Joy)" is a song featuring Strawberry Shortcake and the horse Honey Pie. It's a celebration of the magical land they found called Holidayland and the music and vocals are both very catchy. The other song is the last one, "The Gift of Friendship," in which Strawberry and her friends sing about friendship being the greatest gift of all. Oh, and "Dance of the Sugar Berry Fairy" is also worth noting --- it's this CD's version of "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy."

If you or your kids like Strawberry Shortcake, then you'll probably enjoy this. When the CD ends, you can just play it again --- you'll probably want to!

My 2 girls are such Strawberry junkies that I had to get them this after seeing how they reacted to the DVD "Berry Merry Christmas" very cheery songs-finally sweet Christmas songs other than the usual mundane "Jingle Bells" for the kids to learn and sing.

Knowing that while kids want the CD, parents must buy it and play it, they made this CD with enough variety in musical style to make it enjoyable for all ages. There are slow, traditional tunes, fast pop-style songs, and many new tunes that make the whole thing enjoyably berry-able.

I bought this CD for my one-year-old daughter for Christmas. She absolutely loves this!!! She listens to this CD every day and dances along to it! She will even find the jewel case and carry it around the house, saying, "Buh-buh-buh!" The songs are catchy and fast, and the little children's high-pitched voices are kind of sweet (not overly annoying). I often find myself humming the songs in my head as I go about my day. This one is a favorite in our house, even after Christmas is over!
