Overview

Ring the bells, it's Christmas time! The happiest band in the land, The Wiggles, have joined with the happiest man in the land, Santa Claus (played by entertainment legend Bert Newton with the dazzling Patti Newton as Mrs Claus), to deliver The Wiggles' best ever Christmas songs and story. Go Santa Go! has The Wiggles helping Santa get the presents ready for Christmas Eve, but Lachy's invention turns Santa's elves from tiny helpers to football player-sized helpers (Jay Laga'aia and real football stars Lote Tuqiri and Joel Reddy)!

The Wiggles introduced themselves and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Simon gets ready for a Wiggly Christmas in Wigglehouse. Anthony is busy and making eating some delicious Christmas fruit salad that he has a big bowl and giving Lachy a some fruit in his bowl. Emma's introducing to her favourite Christmas carol so they could do the actions to the bird came to welcome baby Jesus.

Song #1: Curoo Curoo

Simon tells everyone about Lachy is gonna clean up with his invention. Lachy arrives with his goggles, his gloves & his scientist jacket. He is showing a special water formula that I am perfecting will speed up the actions of anyone who comes in contact with it's lavender like mist. When he's putting on goggles & sprays himself with the formula. Then, it slows down, until he speaks slowly. Simon is using his cleaner towel to wipe Lachy’s goggles so he should give him some normal speed. When he asked about getting ready for Christmas because it's gonna be a good one this year. Simon has a question for everyone.

Song #2: Everybody, I Have a Question

Lachy introduced their Wiggly Friends got their Christmas clobber on. Anthony sings in a high note because "Ring the bells, it's Christmas time!" Simon sings in a low note because "Ring the bells, it's Christmas time!" Anthony says in a high note, "I do!"

Song #3: Ring-A-Ding-A-Ding Dong!

Anthony introduced him to say "Ahoy there, Captain Feathersword!" When Emma should say, "Merry Christmas, Captain Feathersword!" She asked where Dorothy the Dinosaur and Henry the Octopus went. Captain gives a solution that they both went down for a beach to set up a picnic for everybody. He doesn't know where Wags that he might be bouncing around the Christmas tree.

Song #4: Wags is Bouncing Around the Christmas Tree

Emma tells everyone that Wags bouncing off to the beach, so they went to the beach for having a picnic.

Song #5: Christmas Picnic

Emma picks up a bowl to asked Anthony that fruit salad was delicious. Anthony wished merry Christmas to her, that looked after portion controls at Simon. Lachy yawns when his picnic is very tired that he falls asleep. Simon looked Lachy is asleep. So better wake him up so he doesn't miss their annual Christmas hula dance. When they count to three. "1, 2, 3. Wake up, Lachy!" Lachy wakes up and dances the Christmas hula. The Awake Wiggles went, "Huh?"

Song #6: Hula, Hula, Merry Christmas To Ya

Trivia

• For the first time, the walls in Wigglehouse are light blue.
• This video marks the first Wiggles video to have Paul Paddick do all the Wiggly Friends' voices, as noted in the credits. However, he does only some of Dorothy's giggles and Wag's barks (along with Lachy Gillespie and Paul Field). For Captain Feathersword and Henry's case, he does the full role.
• Anthony plays the drums again in this video as seen in "Decorate The Tree With Dorothy".
• After 16 years, eight songs from the Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas video such as "Henry's Christmas Dance" and "Christmas Picnic" are sung again. Likewise, "Here Come The Reindeer" makes its first studio reappearance since Yule Be Wiggling, only being performed in concert in between.
• Bert Newton and Patti Newton play roles as Santa Claus and Mrs Claus and as themselves towards the end of the video.
• Paul Field and his friend Paul Rogers play the rabbits in the scene where Lachy gives them carrots.
• The North Pole set used in this video heavily resembles the one used for It's Always Christmas With You!
• A shot of Wigglehouse from Ready, Steady, Wiggle! is used in this video after the song "Go Santa Go".
• The North Pole set from It's Always Christmas With You! is reused here.
• Simon wears the professor outfit for "Unto Us, This Holy Night" as one of the three wise men.
• In some scenes, Lachy's purple stripes on his pants are a bit lighter than usual.
• "Away in a Manger" lasts only 30 seconds and is played on guitar. The CD version is more produced and lasts a minute longer.
• In a promo picture of "Emma's Christmas Bow", Simon plays the tambourine.
• For some unknown reason, in "The Holy City (Jerusalem)", Simon sings on a different phone than the one he talks on in the phone call segment.
• It's also the first Christmas video to be story-based (not counting Dorothy the Dinosaur Meets Santa Claus and Dorothy the Dinosaur's Rockin' Christmas)
• The second North American DVD release by NCircle Entertainment is slowed down, although unlike later DVDs by NCircle and Kaboom! Entertainment, the pitch is corrected to not be lower. The 2017 re-release by Kino Lorber plays at the correct speed.
• Both North American DVD releases carry over the bonus Apples & Bananas sneak peak music video of "Michael Finnegan" from the Australian DVD release, despite the fact that NCircle released that before this, and Kino Lorber has yet to release it.
• On October 3, 2013, The Wiggles uploaded a trailer on their YouTube channel, then on October 20, 2013, they uploaded the final version.

• Jay Laga'aia and Bert Newton both played The Wizard in the musical "Wicked".
• This is the first video to have Emma wear a wig, this would continue until her retirement.
• This is NCircle Entertainment's last Wiggles DVD to have a booklet.
