Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas (1997 video)

"**Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas**" is the sixth Wiggles video, and also the first Christmas-themed Wiggles video. It was released on video on October 13, 1997.

The video was re-released in 1999, with Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer cut out, and Wiggly Christmas Medley added. Rudolf was thought to be on the UK video but this was a packaging error, and the song did not appear. This also happened in the USA and Canadian edition, with Wiggly Christmas Medley also being removed from the cover of the list, although being added to the video itself.

The video was uploaded in 4 parts to The Wiggles' official YouTube channel as part of the Classic Wiggles collection, beginning with Part 1 being released on November 12, 2018.

Christmas Picnic segment: Jeff is sleeping in his favorite comfy chair. He has a dream where Santa Claus and Henry the Octopus are helping the Wiggles put together a sandcastle while a fast instrumental tune plays. Henry dances in circles to it. Then the Wiggles arrive and Greg notices he's asleep. They count to 3 quietly and say, "Wake up Jeff!" loudly. After waking up, Jeff tells them about his dream. It was real; he reaches down for his shoe, picks it up, and pours water out of it. The others laugh.

The second one is Scottish dancing.

The third one is a line dance. Murray makes a roaring sound, but Anthony corrects him and says it's not a lion dance, it's actually a line dance. Dorothy understands and says she'll do a boot scoot, and does just that. Yee-haw!

The fourth and last one is Irish dancing, which is Dorothy's favorite and she scats along to it with a song called Nya Nya Nya. Ta-daaaaaa! Murray says how Dorothy sure is a great dancer.

They are just like Murray's; bones. Murray asks the others and they say that it's a bone. When Murray is sad that the bone is what he got Wags for Christmas and when the others find out that they have the same present as his, they lower their heads and cry, "Oh, no!" except Jeff falling asleep and they look sad, but Anthony says that he'll like them anyway so they raise their heads and they look happy, including Jeff who woke up without letting the others say, "Wake up, Jeff!", but they were okay and so was that. They put the bones under the tree. Wags arrives and gives The Wiggles a present, which is a bone! The Wiggles and Wags laugh.
