Celebrate the 12 days of Christmas with Caillou and his family. Caillou receives a special advent calendar from his parents to count down the days until Christmas, and each night Caillou and his parents open a flap to discover a new picture of a holiday celebration somewhere in the world. As the family talks about different Christmas traditions, Caillou learns that a young boy in Germany started the tradition of the Christmas tree, that English school children made the first Christmas cards, and that Christmas stockings (and shoes) figure prominently in holiday celebrations in France and Hungary. He also learns about Hanukkah and the lighting of the Menorah from his friend Leo. As Caillou and his family enjoy their own holiday traditions, they discover the universal importance of giving and sharing. Music, including eight original songs, abounds in this 73-minute program. Unlike more typical Caillou episodes, there are no animated segments focusing on the interactions between Teddy, Rexi, and Gilbert in this presentation nor does Caillou find much to whine about in this festive season. DVD extras include an interview with Caillou, a holiday sing-along, and six challenges. (Ages 2 to 6) --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

A sweet childhood tradition
This movie is so sweet and refreshing. It's nice to have a movie for children where the children behave like children. I'm very surprised at the reviewer that calls Caillou a "bad role model". I've watched every episode and the movie w/ my little one. I can't imagine a better show for young children. Yes, he makes mistakes, but that's the point. Your child learns that they make mistakes and what to do to make it better. I recommend this to everyone!

My Girls love it
We watched this probably 50 times in the month prior to Christmas. Caillou is the only show both my daughters 4 and almost 2 will watch. They don't care for the other DVDs as they don't like the puppet and dancing segments. I think they like the relationship between Caillou and Rosie as it is similar to theres. I liked the multicutural flare of this DVD. Extras were of minimal interest.

Bad role model



I don't think Caillou is a good role model for kids he is very disobiedent and bratty. Kids already have don't need extra help with that.
