The program features a variety of seasonal tunes, including "[[True Blue Miracle]]," "[[Keep Christmas With You (All Through the Year)]]," "[[I Hate Christmas]]," and "[[Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas]]." The special opens with an ice-skating sequence, combining the Sesame characters from ''[[Ice Follies]]'' with the Sesame Street humans to create the illusion that the entire cast of the show is enjoying an ice-skating trip. One of the highlights of this section is Big Bird skating with a little girl to [[José Feliciano]]'s recording of "[[Feliz Navidad]]".

In various re-airings on PBS in the late-1980s, the closing scene with Susan and Gordon finding that Cookie Monster ate most of their Christmas tree was cut.
