When I heard this was being produced, I could hardly wait for it to come out! It certainly did not disappoint. Of the Baby Einstein series, our 9-month-old seems most interested in Baby Mozart, and after several days of watching Baby Santa's Music Box, she seems just as interested in this one. It holds her attention longer than Baby Einstein, Bach, or Shakespeare (we haven't yet tried Van Gogh). There's a good balance of color, movement, and live action, and the music is varied and fun. It's also just plain festive, and I'm sure we'll play it often as the Christmas season begins.

Triplet 2 year olds have been watching videos from the Baby Einstein series since they were 6 months old. The quality of this one does not measure up to the rest. It seems almost like a 'home-movie'. The sound quality and music selecions are not as good and the visuals are slow. There is not much action and for infants and young toddlers it is difficult to have much reference to what it is they are seeing (ie. that the puppets are reindeer, etc). I think the video should be more self-explanatory in some way so that the 'Christmas-uninitiated' will have more understanding of it. The boys will watch it but are not as captivated by this one as by the others. They seem to get more out of it now though than they did when they were 17 months (at Christmas).

As always, when reviewing Baby Einstein products, I have to make a distinction between what I think and what my kids (now age 20 months) think. Other reviewers have mentioned that it's short, and that they might have picked different songs. I agree, from my own point of view, but my kids are transfixed by this video and absolutely love it. They are at the "word explosion" stage of development right now, so love pointing out all the snow, horses, trains, etc. While I might have liked different songs, they bop to the ones that are here with no problem.For whatever reason, the Toys 'R Us that I went to had only the VHS version. All my other Baby Einstein products are on DVD, and I have to say that I would much prefer the DVD version. The tape that we bought has some skips, and the quality just isn't the same - and I guess I'm not used to having to rewind things anymore... All in all, again from the toddler point of view, another successful video from Baby Einstein.

I couldn't wait for the holiday season to arrive so that I could play this DVD for my son. He loves the other DVDs in the series, especially Baby Neptune and Baby Galileo. Baby Santa's Music Box on the other hand, is not so well liked...not by my son, my nephews, or myself.In my opinion, it just doesn't seem to live up to it's potential. Think of all the wonderful, amazing, and magical things that go along with Christmas and the holiday season - alot of it is missing from this DVD. Sure, there are some things included that pertain to Christmas on this DVD, but there could have been so much more. To me, most of this DVD looks like just a bunch of random images thrown in to fill up the time. How many times did they really need to have that reindeer puppet pop in and out of gift box? How many irrelevant scenes were included so that Julie Clark's kids could play a part? This DVD could have been so much more, but it misses the mark by a long shot. Don't even get me started on the music. Of all the beautiful Christmas songs available, both secular and non-secular, they could have had a much better selection to say the least. In general, I am sorry I wasted my money on this DVD. Who knows, maybe my next child will want to sit through it.

This is my Daughter's favorite. She can't get enough of it. Everytime she watches it I would swear it was for the first time. She loves the kids and ornaments and can't get enough of the reindeer puppet (it's her favorite). The music is fun and gets the whole family excited about the Holidays.
