Dora's too smart a cookie to leave Santa standard-issue snacks for Christmas. But when he slips through the chimney without spotting his gift, it's up to her and buddies Backpack, Boots, and the trusty Map to battle their way through snow-capped mountains and an icy river to ring his North Pole bell. Even at Christmastime, TV's most intrepid cartoon Latina is no slouch--she takes 2- to 6-year-olds to task on shape identification, Spanish vocabulary, and more during Project Present Drop . With her encouragement, Swiper the Fox surrenders Santa's gift as quickly as he five-fingers it, and elves come caroling when the merry mission's complete. Dora's gift to her devoted play-along-at-home pals is a second episode. In "Rapido, Tico!" the gang tackles land, lake, sky, and snow to reclaim Boots's toy fire truck. --Tammy La Gorce

5.0 out of 5 stars fun again with Dora, January 11, 2005

By	Melibee "busy mom of 4" (USA) - See all my reviews

This dvd offers four Dora cartoons, one of which being a Christmas themed episode. The Santa episode is very cute and sweet, one of the best Dora episodes I have seen! Even Swiper is a sweetie in this show! My three year old was enthralled with this dvd and asked to watch it repeatedly during the Christmas season. It is a great addition to our family dvd collection.
I do agree with another reviewer who wrote that the 'Quack Quack' episode is weird. I agree, it is definitely not one of the best. However, the Santa show was so great it makes up for the shortcomings of the other. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Episodes are ok, BUT..., December 23, 2004

By	Thamer Jacobs "T.J." (Ann Arbor, MI) - See all my reviews

A few little things could be better...

1st, Only one of the episodes is even remotely Christmas related, which is fine. But since the kids will want to watch the others for the rest of the year, and I can see being a little annoyed at watching the holiday episode in May, I think it would've been nice for this episode to be the last, or to have an option to play the others without this one.

Another thing I didn't care for was all of the advertisements at the beginning. I wonder if this really sells anything??? All we ever do is hit the search button several times to get through them all.

One wonderful thing about this DVD compared to other Dora DVD we have is that you CAN play all the episodes with just one button, instead of having to go into a sub-menu to get to the Bonus episodes (too much for a 2 year old to do on their own).

The Christmas episode is fine and fun to watch during the holidays. Two of the other three are fine, but the "Quack Quack" episode where Dora and Boots jump into a coloring book is a little strange... even my 3 year old thinks so. Not bad, just... not quite right. I wouldn't recommend this as a first Dora DVD (Meet Diego or Super Silly Fiesta, for example, are much better for overall content).

3.0 out of 5 stars Just 4 regular episodes..., November 13, 2005

By	N. Berry "north" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Only 1 episode (regular length) is Christmas related, and the other 3 are just regular Dora shows. With tivo, we have plenty of Dora episodes already recorded, so this really was just $12 for a short Dora Christmas show.
