Let's see, there is some good here...a cute reference to the old 'Wonderful Life' rumor surrounding the origin of Bert and Ernie's names, Kermit the Frog has a new newsflash, some classic Sesame Street characters and humor.
But theres a lot of things that make this special mediocre at best. It's a bit too long, Santa Clause is grumpy (and his beard looks more fake than some mall santas I've seen), Harvey Fierstein sings, Bert and Ernie don't even talk, and it's just not as good as the old Sesame Street Christmas Special. It just feels like fluff.

Jim Henson always comes out with a cute movie. there isn't one Muppet movie i don't like. Aloth this is Sesame Street, its still cute. I haven't seen this movie in a while, but basically Elmo has a wish from Sannta, and he wishes everyday was Chhristmas. Its great at first but then people start to get tired of Christmas, and Elmo has to figure out how to put things right. I liked this movie as a kid and it will always have a place in my heart. If your watching this as a kid, with your kids, or an adult reliving the awesomeness of childhood, you'll be sure to love this movie. final say... 8/10 PS Muppet Xmas carol is my fave Christmas movie of all time. u should check that out too.
Elmo wishes that every day is Christmas, wreaking havoc on the world. But why did they put Harvey Fierstein in a singing role? This guy has the worst voice I've ever heard!
This is NOT how a Christmas special is supposed to be portrayed. It's meant to show the beauty of the holidays, but with the Elmo-mania already happening during that time, It turned into a horrific dystopia; caused by a stubborn, immature, naughty 3-year old little brat! Every single holiday! Why teach kids to not have a single holiday every single day when that will never happen in reality?! A horrendous "unrealistic lesson" for too much of a good thing! Listen to some Wow Wow Wubbzy songs. They're the real lesson here!
I saw this DVD when I was a child but now, I loath it to death! Elmo acted like a one year old, he's so stubborn in a bad way, you name it! This is most horrendous Christmas special I ever seen! You know this is not how Christmas (or Easter or the Fourth of July) is supposed to be like.

- TriviaCharles Durning, who played Santa Claus, also starred in The Muppet Movie (1979), where Durning played the evil Doc Hopper.
- GoofsAfter Elmo wishes it was Christmas every day, Santa takes the only reindeer on hand (Lightning) to go visit Elmo on Sesame Street. As Elmo leaves with Lightning to see what his wish will mean for the future, Santa mentions he's going down chimneys again that night. But Elmo just left with Lightning, who was Santa's only way of getting back to the North Pole.
- Quotes
Santa Claus: [to Elmo] You got 2 more wishes, son. Don't waste them.
- Crazy creditsAfter the credits, the end of "It's a Wonderful Life" (which has been playing throughout the program) appears on a discarded TV, followed by Elmo wishing you a Merry Christmas.
