Description:
It’s an unbelievable Christmas Eve as Barney™, BJ™ and Baby Bop™ take their friends on a musical journey to the North Pole and bring them face to face with Santa Claus! The excitement builds as Santa leads his guests on a once-in-a-lifetime tour of his brightly decorated home. The children discover his antique music box, see amazing displays of hi favorite toys and climb aboard his train for an incredible ride. When Mrs. Claus notices that the elves need help finishing up last minute Christmas chores, she escorts the group to Santa’s Toy Factory. Join BJ, Baby Bob and the children as they wait patiently to hear the sound of sleighbells and share in the most magical night of the year with Barney!

Amazon.com:
Parents coerced into purchasing this tape by their children (devoted fans of the ever-present Barney) will be relieved to know that nearly all the classic holiday songs are allowed to maintain their original lyrics and not rewritten, as is typical Barney. This made-for-video Christmas special follows the adventures of Barney, BJ, Baby Bop, and their kiddy friends on a journey to the North Pole. There in the frozen candyland they meet that bearded icon of happiness, Santa Claus. Barney's Night Before Christmas resembles a '70s variety show, featuring silly skits in which the characters frequently break into song.

Producers are smart enough to engage older kid actors, which are a draw to the younger intended audience. The tape offers lessons in Christmas traditions--the spirit of giving, working together, and winter fun. Some tunes covered: the goofy 'Jingle at the Window,' 'Winter's Wonderful,' 'Deck the Halls,' 'O Christmas Tree,' 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas,' 'Jolly Old St. Nicholas,' 'Jingle Bells,' 'Look Into Santa's Book,' '12 Days of Christmas,' and several instrumentals. --N.F.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must have for Barney lover's
This video is wonderful! My three-year-old niece watches in amazement, when she's not singing along. My 6-year-old sister still watches it. The bonus features are great too. Definitely a must have.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Barney's Night Before Christmas
Super DVD. My two year old granddaughter wants this DVD playing every time she visits. We probably will wear it out. When it finishes she will say "AGAIN, PLEASE". She is now signing and dancing along with the music. The colors along with Santa's Work Shop just catch the eye of the little ones. Definitely worth the purchase price.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - don't expect it to be like the tv show
It's a cute movie, but my daughter wasn't interested in it. I have a 15 month old who loves the Barney tv show, but this movie doesn't have the vibrant colors and obvious joy that the tv show has. This movie would be good for a child who is older, like 3 or 4.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Barney's Night Before Christmas arrived on time and was great
Thank you so much.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Dated but you can wrap a few presents while it's on
It looks like it was made in the late 80s early 90s but the songs aren't annoying and my 3 year old daughter likes it enough to ask for it. If you're looking for a "true message of Christmas" video, though, this isn't it. In Barney-land, as always, Christmas is about "sharing".
