Rating: Summary: Excellent Holiday video for the young ones Review: This was the first wiggles tape I bought for my 16 mos old and he loved it. He would sing and dance right along with the wiggles. This was our first wiggle experience so it took a couple of viewings for me to not laugh at the video as my son watched since I had never seen 4 guys dancing around with a funny looking dinosaur, a giant dog, and strange looking guy in a pirate costume. My son loved this video he watched it 4-5 times a day and never tired of it. Instead the more he watched it the more he learned the dances and tried to sing along. This is a great holiday video, get it for your little on next holiday season and it will be a hit.
Rating: Summary: Have Yourself a Merry Wiggle Christmas ! Review: We already have Yule Be Wiggling, which is a wonderful Christmas show, and we decided to buy this one to see if it was of the same standard. It definitely is!There are 19 great songs, the kids are all there, the costumes, while simple, are appropriate, the dancing is excellent, and even Santa is wiggling. There are the usual funny little skits, like when Anthony is talking to the kids before a Nativity play, and Joseph says that his role is to put his hand on Mary's shoulder. (Well, he's giving her support, isn't he?) Between these two shows, we're going to do a lot of Christmas Wiggling - in fact we've already started. Get them both, and have a Merry Wiggle Christmas!
Rating: Summary: Not the best of the Wiggles Review: We are a bonafide "Wiggle Household". Our children, ages 1 and 3 watch the Wiggles videos two or three times every day! This Christmas video is definitely not as good as our two all-time favorites (Wiggle Time and Toot Toot in the Big Red Car). The tunes are sung slightly out of sync and the choreography and sets look much less professional. I wish it had been better, we're total fans of these guys and want to see a lot more from them.
Rating: Summary: Don't Miss The Wiggly Wiggly Fun! Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Upbeat Video Includes Christian Music As Well As Fun Tunes Review: 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).
Rating: Summary: Anything Wiggles is Good! Review: 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.
Rating: Summary: Fun, Fun, Fun Review: We have three kids - ages 8, 6 and 3. They love these guys! I highly recommend this for your kids. The songs are memorable, the language non-offensive, and the tapes are watched again and again.
Rating: Summary: Great Christmas DVD for your little Wiggles fans Review: 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.

Rating: Summary: Perhaps the BEST Wiggles video! Review: 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!
Rating: Summary: A Wiggles Christmas!!! Review: We've just begun to watch this marvelous video of the Fab Four from Australia, and it's no disappointment. There is lots of excitement and dancing, and singing, and for the little Wiggle fans and old alike, this is a true celebration.
The Wiggles have incorporated the traditional carols and songs together with contemporary arrangements, plus their own tribute to the Christmas season. The children are always fun to watch, and the renditions of Away in the Manger and Felice Navidad are exceptional. Then there's Let's All Clap for Santa Claus, and at the end some scenes from the Wiggles Big Show, which features many of the songs in this video.
This video can be watched all year long, like some folks do, however, we like the idea that we can take the Wiggles along for Christmas and let them rest until the next Christmas arrives.
A truly wonderful video, and highly recommended!!!
