The special centers on the Sesame Street Talent Show, hosted by Cookie Monster and Juanpa Zurita. Elmo is too nervous to perform, and a request for help from Abby causes her wand to fracture, sending her unconfined fairy magic on the loose. As he is magically transported all over, Elmo learns about mindfulness techniques from various celebrity guests.
