This video lives up to Wiggle Time in entertainment value. My kids (5 and 3) relate to each of the Wiggles as well as Captain Feathersword, Wags and Dorothy. We bought the video last weekend and since then the kids have memorized the dialogue and choreography. This is a terrific video choice for Christmas fun because your kids won't just sit and watch. They'll get up and dance and sing along. There are traditional songs plus some new high energy ones. I just asked my three year old which song was his favorite and he said, "Let's Clap Hands for Santa Claus," a Wiggles original. At the end of the video there is a montage of Christmas songs excerpted from one of the Wiggles concerts. This is an added bonus to an already fabulous tape.

The Wiggles: Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas is another winner from a great group. My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter loved it. It contains a mixture of old favorites and new Christmas songs. They include characters from the other videos, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dogs, and Henry the Octopus. Some children from snowy climates may wonder why they go on a picnic on the beach for Christmas, but it will be good for southern climate children. (Remember Australia-home of the Wiggles has Christmas during their summer months) I'd buy it again!

We bought both this video and "Yule Be Wiggling" this week so we had a Wiggly competition between the two. "Wiggly Wiggly Christmas" wins at our house hands down. The title song would make anyone want to get up off the sofa and dance--mom included--and Santa is hilarious making wiggily motions with the guys and kids and jumping around like a maniac. Another song with a catchy beat is Henry the Octopus's. The nativity scenes and "quieter" Christmas songs are sweet and not too long (my 2-year old definitely liked the jumpy songs best!). It is a relief to have *some* Christmas religious references in a fun children's video without having to tolerate a syrupy 40 minute sermon.

My seven year old also enjoyed this video the most out of the two (she said the computer animation for the Elf song on "Yule Be Wiggling" was a little creepy). We have 9 of the Wiggles videos now, and "Wiggly...Christmas" is easily one of the top 3. We also saw their show in Indy in August and that was a real treat with reasonable ticket prices.

The Wiggles continue to captivate young audiences with this Christmas Series. New songs capture the imagination and old characters carry over from previous videos. This band of Australian men have successfully mixed music with likable characters to educate and capture the imagination of our children. In this video they have captured the Christmas spirit and take our children on a ride of music, season joy, dance and laughter. It is an interactive musical video and highly enjoyable for the young of heart as well as the young of age. Children and adults alike grow to love this group. It is upbeat, fun and educational. An important video for children of today.

We watch the Wiggles every night. My baby must see it to sooth her to get ready for bed- Nothing else works! I have all the tapes and did not see this one since it's a Christmas tape! I thought I'd give it a try a few weeks ago, and I must say, we've been watching it every night since! It is my 11 month old favorite and I can see why. All the Characters are there, and tons of dancing children. Although the other tapes are excellent like Toot Toot! and Wiggle Time, only a few songs on those tapes show children. This video has children in most every song. And what catch fun Christmas songs they are too! I especially like Henry's Dance with it Cha Cha Cha beat! They even go to the beach and have a fun Christmas picnic there. This is a tape not to bypass if you are a Wiggles fan!

The Wiggles strikes again!! Our family owns the previous 3 videos from The Wiggles, and like the other 3 videos, this adds to our 2 year olds list of favorites. This video contains many of the traditional Christmas songs, which was a great way to intoduce them to her; Jingle Bells, Feliz Navidad, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and she sings along and dances to ALL OF THEM! Her favorite is the Nativity Play where the children are dressed up as they nod their heads to a simple tune. She loves dressing up as Mother Mary and plays along with them! You can't go wrong with this video...your family and toddler will love it. I find myself singing to the songs!

My 3 year old loves this as much as the other Wiggles videos! She loves the Clap Your Hands For Santa song the best. I find myself singing along with them too! I highly recommend this Christmas video.

We recently purchased this DVD to replace our rather worn VHS copy. You see, our son is such a Wiggles fan that he wants to watch this year-round, instead of just during the holidays. It's a great mix of both religious (apparently the Wiggles haven't forgotten the "reason for the season") and secular tunes, done with the usual Wiggly sense of fun and spirit. Traditional songs such as "Here Comes Santa Claus," "Jingle Bells," "Away in a Manger," and "Silent Night" are perfectly mixed with both original songs and some fun "re-imaginings" of popular Wiggles tunes. For example, "Go, Santa, Go" is instantly reminiscent of Captain Feathersword's theme song, but with a definite Christmas twist. Also included is "Feliz Navidad," which has helped my son's budding interest in Spanish. As usual, the Wiggles include kids (some of them their own) as dancers, singers, and as players in a solemn and reverential Nativity scene. The sets are colorful, the music is often fun and playful, and the Wiggles seem (as always) to be having a blast. Highly recommended to fans of Australia's "Fab Four," but also to those who want a fun and enjoyable Christmas DVD.

I hope this review was helpful.

We got this video last year for our daughter who is now 3 and was already a HUGE Wiggles fan. It has the same Wiggles style, that is a lot of fun for the whole family, and doesn't drive many parents batty with a bunch of annoying or overly high-pitched voices. Like most of the Wiggles' works, this video is packed with a lot of energetic songs to really get you moving, and also includes a few slower-paced songs that are beautiful and/or traditional. The best part is that The Wiggles have not forgotten to put the true meaning of Christ in Christmas with their nativity scenes and traditional songs like Away in a Manger and Silent Night. They have included fun, secular songs, as well, so it is such a nice blend of music. Our daughter has requested this one not only at Christmas time, but all year long, and she has learned every dance step, as well. She dances without the video accompaniment, remembering the dance steps from the video while the music plays on the Wiggly Wiggly Christmas CD (which is also a part of her personal Wiggly collection).

We have an almost 3 year old and a 6 year old who love anything the Wiggles do. This is a fun tape. But if you're new to Wiggles, start off with Dance Party or Toot Toot first.
