Christmas videos for kids, and where they actually are
There is no Christmas section on KidsTube and there is not going to be one — a category that sits empty for eleven months of the year helps nobody. The Christmas episodes live in the shows they belong to. This is where they are, so you are not hunting in December.
Close to forty videos in total. Enough for the month, and not a library: most shows have one or two Christmas episodes, which is what a show normally has.
Songs, which is where most of it is
Pinkfong carries nine, the largest single group here, and Mother Goose Club has six. Super Simple Songs and HooplaKidz each add a Jingle Bells.
These are the ones to reach for with a very young child. The tune does the work, nobody has to follow a plot, and a three-minute song is a natural place to stop.
Episodes and stories
Pocoyo has seven, which is the deepest set of actual episodes we hold, and it is close to wordless — useful if English is not the first language at home.
- Bedtime stories — two, and built to wind down rather than up
- Popular stories for kids — three
- Fairy tales — two
- Bugs Bunny — two, and worth knowing these are the 1940s shorts: slapstick, and louder than the rest of this list
One practical note
December is the month a screen-time limit takes the most pressure, and we are not going to pretend a Christmas list does not add to it. What helps is an episode that ends rather than a feed that does not. Everything above stops on its own.
