Video

In an August 1997 article by The Sun-Herald, the Wiggles planned to release the Christmas video in November, and was going to tour New South Wales and Victoria.  The Powerhouse Museum website listed the video as being released in September 1997. However, The Wiggles Exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum Exhibition itself showed a video poster with a video release date of Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas On ABC Video for 13 October 1997.
