Go Santa Go!

Go Santa Go! is the forty-fourth video special that was released on November 6, 2013.

## Overview

Ring the bells, it's Christmas time! The happiest band in the land, The Wiggles, have joined with the happiest man in the land, Santa Claus (played by entertainment legend Bert Newton with the dazzling Patti Newton as Mrs Claus), to deliver The Wiggles' best ever Christmas songs and story. *Go Santa Go*! has The Wiggles helping Santa get the presents ready for Christmas Eve, but Lachy's invention turns Santa's elves from tiny helpers to football player-sized helpers (Jay Laga'aia and real football stars Lote Tuqiri and Joel Reddy)! With traditional Christmas carols and fun new songs *Go Santa Go*! is the most fun you'll have since Santa first grew his beard!

## Trivia

* For the first time, the walls in Wigglehouse are light blue.
* This video was most likely filmed from June to July 2013.
* This video marks the first Wiggles video to have Paul Paddick do all the Wiggly Friends' voices, as noted in the credits. However, he does only some of Dorothy's giggles and Wag's barks (along with Lachy Gillespie and Paul Field). For Captain Feathersword and Henry's case, he does the full role.
* Anthony plays the drums again in this video as seen in "Decorate The Tree With Dorothy".
* After 16 years, eight songs from the Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas video such as "Henry's Christmas Dance" and "Christmas Picnic" are sung again. Likewise, "Here Come The Reindeer" makes its first studio reappearance since Yule Be Wiggling, only being performed in concert in between.
* Bert Newton and Patti Newton play roles as Santa Claus and Mrs Claus and as themselves towards the end of the video.
* Paul Field and his friend Paul Rogers play the rabbits in the scene where Lachy gives them carrots.
* The North Pole set used in this video heavily resembles the one used for It's Always Christmas With You!
* A shot of Wigglehouse from Ready, Steady, Wiggle! is used in this video after the song "Go Santa Go".
* The North Pole set from It's Always Christmas With You! is reused here.
* Simon wears the professor outfit for "Unto Us, This Holy Night" as one of the three wise men.
* In some scenes, Lachy's purple stripes on his pants are a bit lighter than usual.
* The first North American DVD release by NCircle Entertainment is slowed down, although unlike later DVDs by NCircle and Kaboom! Entertainment, the pitch is corrected to not be lower. The 2017 re-release by Kino Lorber plays at the correct speed.
* It's also the first Christmas video to be story-based (not counting Dorothy the Dinosaur Meets Santa Claus and Dorothy the Dinosaur's Rockin' Christmas)
* Both North American DVD releases carry over the bonus Apples & Bananas sneak peak music video of "Michael Finnegan" from the Australian DVD release, despite the fact that NCircle released that before this, and Kino Lorber has yet to release it.
* On October 3, 2013, The Wiggles uploaded a trailer on their YouTube channel, then on October 20, 2013, they uploaded the final version.
* This is the first particular Wiggles Christmas video to have 2 songs be put in a TV Series.
* This is the current generation's first and so far only story based video until Lullabies with Love.
* Jay Laga'aia and Bert Newton both played The Wizard in the musical "Wicked".
* This is the first video to have Emma wear a Wig, this would continue until her retirement.
* This is NCircle Entertainments last Wiggles DVD to have a booklet.
* This is Bert Newton's only Wiggles video as a guest star before his death in 2021.
* This is the last Christmas video to have Clare Field.
* This is the second and last Christmas video to be distributed by NCircle Entertainment
	+ This is also the second and last Christmas video to be released while Leela was a part of Sesame Street.
