Music
A variety of Christmas songs help interweave these three plot lines and make the production much more touching, including:
- "Feliz Navidad", by José Feliciano while Big Bird skates with one of the children (preceded and followed by a slow orchestral version of the song).
- "True Blue Miracle", sung during the gang's trip from the skating party back to Sesame Street.
- "Keep Christmas with You", sung in Bob's apartment with Linda leading a group of children in signing the chorus.
- "I Hate Christmas", sung by Oscar the Grouch outside on Sesame Street.
- "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", sung by Bert and Ernie after opening their Christmas gifts to each other.
- "Keep Christmas with You (Reprise)", sung by everyone at the end.
