- Hi, welcome to Elmo's World.
Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?
Wait for it. (whimsical music)
Wait for it!
(laughs)
Winter holidays!
Elmo's friends are celebrating the winter holidays
by singing Christmas carols.
♪ Fa la la la la, la la la la ♪
- Oh, that was wonderful.
(laughs)
Boy, Elmo loves to learn all about winter holidays.
- Did me hear someone say holiday?
- Yeah.
Oh, does Cookie Monster know about winter holidays?
- Me know all about winter holidays.
There's snickerdoodle day, and chocolate chippy day.
- Uh, Cookie Monster, Elmo doesn't think
that those are winter holidays.
Actually, Elmo doesn't think those are holidays at all.
- Okay. Then me not know about winter holidays.
- Oh, well, that's okay, Cookie Monster.
What do we do to learn something new?
- Hm.
- [Both] We look it up.
- 'Tis the season to learn about winter holidays.
- Ah. (bells jingling)
- Over here.
- Wha?
- [Smartie] Winter holidays are special days you celebrate
with friends and family.
During the holidays, people love to decorate their houses,
like for Christmas and Three Kings Day,
people put up trees and lights, or for Hanukkah,
people put out a menorah, and for Kwanzaa, a kinara.
They also cook special foods to share with family:
gingerbread cookies, king cake,
pass the potato pancakes, please.
Winter holidays are a time to spend together
with family and friends.
Look at the party hats and noise makers.
It must be New Year's Eve.
Happy New Year!
(Smartie laughs) (bells jingling)
- Ah.
Elmo loves spending time with his family and friends
during the holidays.
- Yeah, me too.
But me also like funny hats and balloons.
- Yeah.
Oh. Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.
Oh, does Cookie Monster wanna play a game with Elmo?
- Yeah, me do.
- Well, come on!
- Oh, wait for me.
(cheerful music)
- Elmo wonders if we can help
this monster celebrate New Year's Eve.
Are you ready?
- Yeah, me ready.
- Then
- [Both] Let's play!
- [Elmo] Let's see, there's a snorkel, a party hat,
and a noise maker.
(noise maker trumpets)
- [Cookie Monster] Ha ha, that funny noise.
- [Elmo] Cookie Monster.
- [Cookie Monster] Sorry, so what he need
for New Year's Eve party?
Oh, noise maker.
- [Child] Try the noise maker.
- [Cookie Monster] Ooh, nice.
Now what he need? (noise maker trumpets)
Oh, me know.
Snorkel.
- [Children] Not a snorkel, that's for swimming.
- [Elmo] Right, a snorkel is for swimming.
Bye-bye, snorkel. (snorkel buzzes)
(Elmo giggles)
Now what's next? The party hat!
Yay, we did it!
- Happy New Year, monster! (monsters cheering)
(Elmo giggles)
- Boy, Elmo loves the winter holidays.
- Me too.
- Hey, that makes Elmo wonder even more.
Oh, does Mr. Noodle like the winter holidays?
Oh, oh, oh, let's ask him.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Elmo giggles)
- [Both] Hey, Mr. Noodle!
(Elmo giggles)
- Hey, it's Mr. Noodle's poodle, Schmoodle.
(children laugh)
- Hi, Schmoodle. - It's Schmoodle.
(Schmoodle barks)
- Schmoodle, do you like winter holidays?
(barks)
- [Cookie Monster] Yeah, that sound like yes to me.
- [Elmo] Show us how you dress
for your favorite winter holidays.
- [Children] Yeah.
- [Child] Show us how.
- [Children] He's a leprechaun,
dressed for St. Patrick's Day.
- [Elmo] Nice leprechaun costume,
but St. Patrick's Day isn't a winter holiday.
- [Cookie Monster] Okay, me give you hint.
It cold in winter.
- [Child] He's dressed as a ghost. He's trick-or-treating.
- [Elmo] Schmoodle's closer, but Halloween happens
in the fall, not the winter.
- [Cookie Monster] Try again, Schmoodle.
- [Children] He's Santa.
- [Cookie Monster] He look like Santa Paws.
- [Elmo] Yeah, Christmas is definitely a winter holiday.
- Thanks for showing us your favorite winter holiday.

Hi, welcome to Elmo's World!
Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?
Wait for it. (whimsical music)
Wait for it.
- [Doll] Mama!
(toy dog barks)
(train toots)
- Toys, all kinds of toys!
Boy, Elmo loves toys and wants
to find out all about them.
Oh, let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.
Let's call her together.
- [Elmo And Children] Oh, Smartie!
(phone beeps)
(Elmo giggles)
Huh?
(Elmo giggles)
- Hiya, Elmo, like my ride?
- Yeah, Smartie has a toy car.
Oh, and that's great,
because Elmo wants to learn all about toys.
- Well, what do we do to learn something new?
- [Both] We look it up.
- Searching for toys. Here we go.
Toys are things you play with.
You can pretend with them, like dolls.
You can snuggle with them, like stuffed animals.
There are toys you can build with, like building blocks.
You can even build your own toys,
but there's one thing all toys have in common.
They're all about having fun.
- Wow, that's great, Smartie,
oh, but you know what makes a toy even better?
- What's that, Elmo?
- Sharing it with a friend, like Smartie.
- Aw, Elmo, you're a doll.
- Aw.
- I like sharing with you too.
- Yeah.
(Smartie laughs)
(Elmo giggles)
- Well, gotta motor. Bye, Elmo.
- Oh, oh, oh, oh, see you later, Smartie.
Don't forget to put your toys away.
Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.
Oh, let's play a game together, yeah.
Come on, come on! (whimsical music)
(Elmo giggles)
♪ Do do do do do ♪
Oh, Elmo wonders if we can find all the toys in this room,
and put them away.
Are you ready?
Let's play!
There are three toys somewhere in this room.
Let's find the toys and put them in the basket.
Now where is a toy? Hm.
- [Children] Behind the pillow. Look under the pillow.
- [Elmo] It's a dolly, night-night, dolly.
Back in the basket, good job.
Now, let's find the second toy.
Is there one under the table?
- [Children] No.
- [Elmo] Oops, not there.
- [Children] The chair, look under the chair.
- [Elmo] Oh, Elmo sees it. It's a car.
Vroom, vroom, back to the basket, car.
Now there's one toy left, oh, where could it be?
(train toots)
Did you see that?
- [Children] It's a train. It's a choo-choo.
- [Elmo] Let's go, choo-choo.
(train toots) Chugga, chugga,
chugga, chugga.
Back to the basket, choo-choo!
Hooray, we did it! We found all three toys.
Good job, everybody.
(Elmo giggles)
Boy, Elmo loves to play with toys, oh,
and that makes Elmo wonder even more.
Does Mr. Noodle play with toys?
Oh, let's ask him.
- [Elmo And Children] Hi, Mr. Noodle!
(Schmoodle barks) (Elmo giggles)
It's Mr. Noodle's poodle, Schmoodle.
(Elmo giggles)
- [Elmo And Children] Hi, Schmoodle.
- Schmoodle, do you play with toys?
You do? Oh, show us how.
- [Children] Yeah, show us how!
He's reading. He's got a book.
- [Elmo] Schmoodle, books are fun, but they're not toys.
Try again, Schmoodle.
- [Children] He's wearing a bathing suit.
He's going to the beach.
- [Elmo] A beach is fun, too, but it's not a toy.
(barks)
- [Children] Where's he going now?
(ball squeaking)
He's got a ball.
- That's it, Schmoodle, that's how you play with toys.
Yay, Schmoodle!
Thank you, Schmoodle, have fun playing.
