Family and good will toward others prove vital ingredients to a Merry Christmas in A Very Playhouse Disney Holiday. In JoJo's Circus "A Circus Time Christmas," JoJo and her family enjoy cherished holiday traditions like building a snow family and decorating the Christmas tree, but the mood becomes somber when a special heirloom Santa Clown ornament gets broken. Later, JoJo discovers the perfect gift for her parents, but is forced to make a difficult choice between it and a warm basket to save a cold little bird's life. In Higglytown Heroes, Twinkle's greatest wish is to be a wrapper for Santa in the North Pole. When her dream is granted in "Twinkle's Wish," she realizes that being home with her family is an even more important holiday wish. Two very brief Shanna's Shows encourage viewers ages 2 to 5 to use their skills of observation and deductive reasoning to discover what professions Shanna is dressed for. The bonus "Playhouse Present Search" challenges viewers to match up different presents with their intended Playhouse Disney recipients. --Tami Horiuchi

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, but should have known better!, January 8, 2006

By	MPH "mp" (almost Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

I knew this dvd would not be worth the price, but I was lured in by my 2 yr olds love of the Higglytown Heroes and JoJo. There are only two actual episodes on the dvd, one Higglytown and one JoJo's Circus. Then there are a couple other shorts that have no holiday theme whatsoever. We have another Playhouse Disney holiday vhs from a few years ago and it was the same thing, one holiday episode and the rest not holiday at all. While my kids and I love Playhouse Disney, you would be much better off recording the shows yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Christmas Movie!, December 8, 2006

By	Cheyenne Brinkerhoff-will "midnightred" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie is precious! I have 2 boys ages 3 and 5 and this is the second Christmas season they have watched it and they love it! It really will get you into the holiday spirit. The Jo Jo's Circus story is a nice reminder of giving during the holidays, and putting other's first. The Higglytown Hero's story has lots of snow and shows what goes on at the North Pole. The 2 songs Twinkle sings are really just beautiful. It also teaches that being with loved one's is the nicest part of Christmas. There are 2 Shanna's Show shorts, one about a ballerina, and the other about a postal worker. So these aren't exactly about Christmas, the rest of the movie sure is!

4.0 out of 5 stars Disney Christmas, January 11, 2009

By	Diva Love - See all my reviews

I purchased this DVD for my 19 month old daughter a few weeks before Christmas. It was a huge it and she's still requesting it now, 3 weeks after Christmas. This DVD was a little pricey but totally worth it. The story lines are sweet and the songs are very original. A warning though... They are likely to get stuck in your head and you will be singing them at work for days. :o) The only reason I did not give this item 5 stars is because there are two short movie clips in between JoJo and Higgly Town that do not hold my daughter's interest for very long. I would definitely recommend this to a friend though. JoJo is a new favorite in our house now.
