A Sesame Street Holiday Celebration

A Sesame Street Holiday Celebration is an hour-long prime-time special which aired on HBO on Dec 10, 2020, and on PBS the following week. The special follows the Sesame Street Muppets (new and old) as they gather around Sesame Street (rebuilt to include the Around the Corner set) to celebrate the holiday season, with a medley of Christmas songs, unforgettable memories, and even a visit from Santa Claus himself.
Unlike most Sesame Street projects, which are taped at Kaufman Astoria Studios in New York, this special was filmed on location throughout New York City, and in Los Angeles, California.
