Elmo's World: Happy Holidays! is a 2002 Sesame Street direct-to-video special -- a one-hour edition of "Elmo's World" that explores the traditions of Christmas, Kwanzaa and Chanukah.
Kelly Ripa guest stars as Mail Carrier Kelly, who brings Elmo a series of cards. Elmo goes to the North Pole and visits Santa Claus (Charles Edward Hall) to fulfill a Christmas present for Dorothy.
The special also includes a pageant of the Nativity story, featuring Natasha as baby Jesus, Bert as Joseph, and Rosita as Mary.
The Kwanzaa segment shows Tyler and Tyrel Williams and their family celebrating the holidays.
The special aired on PBS during the 2002 holiday season after being released direct to home video in September. It also aired on PBS Kids Sprout on December 3, 2010 and December 20, 2011.
In 2013, a truncated version of the special was paired with Elmo's Christmas Countdownand aired as Episode 4427. This version was later shared on the show's YouTube channel in 2015.
