GetReadyToWiggle.com Review

Santa's Rockin' is a very upbeat, bright, energetic video filled with wonderful music and fantastic colors throughout. Santa's Rockin has some familiar songs, many new songs, and included with the new songs are some completely silly songs.

For the familiar, Away In A Manger, Silent Night, and O Come All Ye Faithful are interspersed throughout Santa's Rockin. The version of Silent Night is spectacular, with Fernando, Fernandito, and Julio Moguel singing verses in Spanish after each English verse.

Santa's Rockin has many beautiful new, or simply unfamiliar, rarely heard songs as well. John Fogarty, of Creedence Clearwater Revival fame joined the Wiggles on Great Big Man in Red, and Rockin Santa. Sam Moran, a popular Wiggles dancer and member of the Manzillas sang the lead on Christmas Barcorolle, showing off his wonderful voice beautifully.

Once of the most silly songs in Santa's Rockin is Wags Stop Your Barking, It's Almost Christmas Day! This song features Barry Williams, best known for playing Greg Brady on the Brady Bunch. While this is a silly song, it is completely entertaining.

Santa's Rockin is a great video; upbeat enough to keep both young and old entertained. The special features, including two of the Wiggles Lights, Camera, Action episodes, and a Dorothy the Dinosaur story are also entertaining.

Santa's Rockin kept me smiling throughout the video, and kept our 2-year-old son interested for the duration of the show. I loved many things about Santa's Rockin, beginning at the very first song, when Miki and Lucia were the name of Anthony's boat. The clothing, not your standard Wiggles costume, included red pants for the Wiggles, various reindeer, Wiggles dancers wearing candy cane striped coats, and of course, Santa Clause. Seeing Fernandito Moguel all grown up, with a mustache was great, and meeting little Julio reminded me of our first meeting with the Moguel family, in Hoop-Dee-Doo. As the credits run, and the little babies are shown, keep an eye out. The last family you will see is the Wiggles own Anthony Field, with is wife Michaela, and beautiful baby daughter Lucia. Since the Wiggles began, they have known how to entertain an audience. Santa's Rockin is the epitome of that knowledge.

I highly recommend Santa's Rockin. It will make a wonderful addition to any Wiggles video library.
