Included in this collection is Mr. Bean's brilliant Christmas show, in which the mumbling dolt (Rowan Atkinson) discovers an unusual technique for stuffing a large turkey that causes him to temporarily (and literally) lose his head. Which means, of course, cheese sandwiches for his poor, underappreciated girlfriend, not to mention the cheap gifts.... Also on this tape is Bean's misadventures at a hotel, where he is locked out of his room and ends up on the wrong end of a glare from the fusspot manager. Fabulous stuff. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious even for non-fans, November 14, 2001

By	jpr (CO, USA) - See all my reviews

There are basically two categories of people out there, Mr. Bean fans, and non-Mr. Bean fans. I'm a fan, my wife is not, but the Christmas segments in this video even had her rolling on the floor. Definitely one of my favorites, especially for the holiday season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Merry Bean-mas!, August 17, 2005

By	Ren Culpepper - See all my reviews

This Mr. Bean tape has two episodes on it: "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean" and "Mr. Bean in Room 426". In "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean", Mr. Bean celebrates Christmas in his own inimitable style. It begins with him going out to do some holiday shopping, and he winds up doing all sorts of various things, including conducting a Christmas band. (Trust me, you do NOT want to miss this part.)
The next day, which is Christmas, Mr. Bean invites his girlfriend Irma over for Christmas dinner, and he winds up "putting the turkey on"... in more ways than one.
I won't give away any more than that.

In "Mr. Bean In Room 426", Mr. Bean is staying in a hotel, but after he arrives, he finds himself in numerous predicaments: the room doesn't have a bathtub, the manager is a complete fusspot, and the oysters in the dining room make him ill.
Even so, things seem to be going smoothly enough... until night falls and he gets locked out of his room. What happens next I won't give away.

In conclusion, this Mr. Bean tape is extremely amusing (like always), and it's definitely worth buying.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty OK, December 6, 2000

By	Bjorn Clasen (Rolléngergronn, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Europe) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Including the classic episode »Merry Christmas Mr Bean«, this selection is among the better tapes in this series. Unfortunately, the overall impression decreases becauses of the other sketch where Mr Bean fools around in a hotel - and this, in the end, just becomes too long and too much.
