We'd purchased the Dora's Christmas CD (which is excellent, by the way). The CD is set up like it's an adventure in song so I (wrongly) assumed the "Christmas Carol Adventure" DVD would be the video version of the CD (since Christmas Carol was in the title). Without saying anything to my kids (6 yr old and 3 yr old girls), they made the same mistake and were a little disappointed as they were hoping to sing the songs on the CD while watching the movie.

That said, they do greatly enjoy the movie. It's a long-format Dora special about the friends trying to teach Swiper the Fox why it's important to not swipe on Christmas. It teaches a great lesson about how actions have consequences and the fact that what we decide to do today affects who we are tomorrow.

The other DVD contains the older Christmas special about Dora and Boots traveling to the North Pole to give Santa a present (plus a few other non-Christmas Dora episodes).

Overall, this was a GREAT bargain and well worth the money. Just don't make the same mistake and assume this is related to Dora's Christmas CD. We do highly recommend the CD as well - it's got some great Dora-fied renditions of a lot of Christmas favorites.

We love all of the Dora videos, and this was no exception. Plus it was a great deal-2 for 1!

My 3 year old loves dora and this was like getting 2 for the price of 1. Great movies

"Dora's Christmas Adventure" has Dora trying to give Santa a very special gift. She travels to the North Pole, in a winter wonderland.
Includes three other regular episodes.

In "Dora's Christmas Carol" Dora must help Swiper the Fox learn the true meaning of Christmas. In doing so Swiper can no longer swipe on Christmas, or he will remain on Santa's Naughty List.
Dora and Swiper must go into his past, then future to learn.
This sends the two on a magical journey through time. While, searching Swiper is given a folded up piece of paper,which has a Christmas Tree on it. There are blank stars. These stars must all turn yellow, for Santa to change his mind. This task seems difficult, but Swiper's willing to try, with Dora's assistance.
Santa tells Dora, and Swiper to visit a grumpy old troll, seen in other episodes. He will provide the two with magical capes, to transport them.
This episode is the longest Dora program, with an hour and a half of delightful holiday fun. It opens with a Christmas version of the "Dora The Explorer" Theme song. A children's choir lends their voices. In bonus footage kids will see a small portion of these children singing.
As an extra, see Dora's Christmas Music Video.

My three year old watched this over the holiday on Nick Jr. and really liked it so I had to buy it for her for christmas. She watches it two to three times a week and never gets tired of it!! Great Dora episodes!
