Elmo Saves Xmas

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
What you really need to know: Yup, kids will love this. And while the collection isn't as strong as some of the other Sesame Street offerings--it's no Elmo Says Boo!--it's got plenty to offer. All of your favorite Christmas standards are here, sung by a large sampling of the cast: Elmo, Zoe, Big Bird, Snuffleupagus, Grover, Cookie Monster, Prairie Dawn, and Oscar, among others. But they sound a little restrained when they stick to the traditional songs, and with no original compositions--and no Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or other non-Christmas songs--Elmo Saves Christmas is surprisingly one-dimensional. --Randy Silver

From Parents' Choice®
The "Sesame Street" gang, including Ernie, Telly, Big Bird, the Count, the little red monster Elmo, Cookie Monster and other Muppet pals, in a collection of traditional and original Christmas music, enjoyable for its sunny sparkle and the cozy familiarity of those voices. A 1998 Parents' Choice® Silver Honor.

Great Sesame Xmas CD.......2005-09-17

We actually are enjoying this music as we speak! My son loves the "Rockin Around the Xmas Tree" song. I'm not a fan of the Count singing "Let it Snow" but outside of that it is a really great CD of classics that little ones are sure to love. I even catch myself walking around singing "Elmo wants a hippo for xmas". Great CD. Well worth the money.

Awesome Holiday Fun.......2002-12-02

My children, ages 3 1/2 & 2 LOVE this Christmas cd. They get very excited when they recognize the monster singing the song. It is great for singing and dancing, and is just awesome holiday fun!

Doesn't Live Up to the Hype.......2002-03-07

Elmo is probably the most creatively consistent of the Sesame Street gang, however, this particular collection was a bit of a letdown following his brilliant string of hit records. I even went several months without listening to this before a friend of mine talked me into giving it another shot. He claimed it was an underrated classic on par with the famous John Denver/Muppets collaboration. I do not find this to be so, but it is still a good release. There was a rumor in the late-80s that Elmo had converted to Judaism, but this Christmas release seems to say otherwise, unless he is simply cashing in on his celebrity and selling out his religion, in which case I would be very disappointed.

Elmo Saves Christmas ... in my classroom.......1999-12-29

Nothing like this album, based on the great video, to add the holiday spirit to any playroom or early childhood classroom. During our visit from Santa, Rosita teaching Elmo "Feliz Navidad" really added an upswing to the party for my multiply handicapped kids. And "It's Christmas Again" is a great song to learn to talk/sing with.

Good collection of holiday classics.......2000-06-20

Though it is billed as the soundtrack to the video Elmo Saves Christmas, this title predominantly features holiday classics rather than music from the movie. (I purchased it thinking it would include songs like "Every Day Can't Be Christmas," but found that that song and some others are not on the album.)

Despite this, if your little listeners are Sesame Street fans, they will enjoy this album, which features favorite characters singing such songs as "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "Let It Snow."
