Waiting for Santa

"Waiting for Santa" was the first Barney and the Backyard Gang Christmas Eve special. Made in 1990 and released on video in 1991, it features an array of traditional Christmas songs.

Plot

Everyone is asleep in Michael's house. Michael and Amy wake up because Barney is trying to come down the chimney and has become stuck. After he is released, Barney magically brings the other kids to Michael's house and then whisks them to see Santa. At the North Pole, the kids meet Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, a snowman and Derek. After helping Santa, the gang returns home and Barney reads "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also known as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas"), and they all fall back asleep. At the very end of the episode, we see a full moon and a shadow of santa with his reindeer passes over and he echos: "Ho ho ho ho. Meeeerrryy Christmas!".
