In this fun adventure, Elmo is curious about winter holidays and how people celebrate them. With his friend Cookie Monster, Elmo learns about these special days that are full of happiness, family, and fun traditions.
Winter holidays are a time to have fun with family and friends. People do lots of exciting things, like decorating their homes. Some families put up Christmas trees with shiny lights. Others celebrate Hanukkah with a menorah, which is a special candle holder. For Kwanzaa, families use a kinara, which also holds candles and stands for the holiday’s seven important ideas.
Yummy food is a big part of winter holidays! Families make special dishes that are important to them. For Christmas, gingerbread cookies are a tasty treat. During Hanukkah, people enjoy latkes, which are yummy potato pancakes. King cake is a sweet dessert that people eat during Mardi Gras, which sometimes happens in winter. These foods make everyone happy and help create wonderful memories.
