Holiday Specials on TV12

Can there be too much Christmas? Viewers discover an answer in Elmo Saves Christmas (right), airing on TV12 in November and December. Elmo, Sesame Street's lovable red monster, wishes that every day were Christmas. However, his Sesame Street friends, along with Maya Angelou (narrator), Charles Durning (Santa Claus) and Harvey Fierstein (Easter Bunny), soon learn why Christmas is only one day a year. The hour-long special takes Elmo on a magical journey, through his adventures about how he almost ruined, then saved, Christmas.
