‘Tis the season to be woolly, with Shaun the Sheep and his farmyard friends.

Episodes include:
-
We Wish Ewe A Merry Christmas: Shaun discovers that The Farmer will be spending Christmas Day alone. The animals work through the night festooning the farmhouse with decorations so that The Farmer wakes up to the most magical Christmas that he has ever experienced.
-
Snowed In: Shaun and his buddies awaken to find the farm covered in snow. But while the sheep enjoy themselves in a massive snowball fight, they are all unaware that The Farmer is snowed inside the farmhouse and trying desperately to escape.
-
Fireside Favorite: Bitzer has caught a cold and The Farmer decides to tuck him up in the house to recover. In doing so, Pidsley the cat is ousted from his favorite spot next to the fire. The mean cat attempts various ways to remove the snotty dog while the sheep do their best to keep Bitzer where he needs to be.
-
An Ill Wind: The Farmer receives a huge electricity bill and decides to build his own wind turbine to power the farmhouse. As soon as The Farmer’s back is turned, Shaun and the flock adapt the noisy new contraption into something much more fun – a ferris wheel. It’s not long before The Farmer blows his fuse.
-
Bitzer’s New Hat: The Farmer gives Bitzer a horrible new hat. Bitzer is very upset, as he treasured his old hat. The flock rally round to try and cheer him up with a selection of dashing alternative head-gear. Meanwhile, Shaun heads off on an adventure to find out what The Farmer did with the old one.
-
Chip Off The Old Block: The Farmer has taken up sculpting, but unintentionally drops a huge slab of stone on top of Timmy’s teddy. Shaun and the flock must struggle and strain to lift the heavy block and retrieve the precious toy.
-
Shirley Whirley: In a bid to help move Shirley around the farm, Shaun has the idea of fitting up Shirley with wheels. Using a remote control, Shaun can now maneuver his large friend around easily – until The Farmer’s TV remote interferes with the signal, causing Shirley to run amuck.

HOW DID WE LIKE IT:
This is a cute DVD for the under 3 crowd I would say. My Toddler likes to watch it while she is playing, in the background. She does sit there every so often and laugh at what Shaun did. This is an animated show, where hardly any words are spoken, yet all is gearing around the movement of the animals and characters with music and sound. I kind of think it’s cute and the Holiday DVD is just another great way to bring some Holiday Cheer to your little ones. The snowball fight always made my Toddler laugh out loud, she thought it was the funniest thing, maybe cause we don’t have snow in Florida? Who knows, but she loved it. It’s just a hilarious show to watch where you don’t have to sit and “follow” the story line; even mom and dad can sit back, relax and laugh at the silly things Shaun comes up with and then have the songs stuck in the head and catching yourself driving down the road sinning a song from Shaun the sheep… yup, happened to me as well :0).
This DVD runs for approx 45 minutes but can be stopped at any time during one of the many episodes; making it easy to limit TV time and teaching your little one to follow rules, like “We watch one more Shaun the sheep and then we turn the TV off”….
