Trivia

• "Fruit Salad", "Wiggly Party", "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport", "The Zeezap Song", "To Have A Tea Party", "Dr Knickerbocker", "Over In The Meadow" and "Wags The Dog Is Chasing His Tail", all of which appeared in the 2010 version, are removed and replaced by new songs featuring the current generation of Wiggles. "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is also replaced with a newer version from a 2013 video.
• Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport was most likely removed because of controversies surrounding Rolf Harris.
• New prologues were filmed featuring the current generation for various songs. Like the 2010 version, Do The Owl's original prologue appears, making it the only one to feature an original Wiggle (Jeff) and to feature a guest (the late Steve Irwin).
• This is to date the only current generation video to feature multiple instrumental songs throughout the entire end credits and the first Wiggles video in general since since The Wiggles' Big Birthday! Previously, Celebration began its credits with one short instrumental before switching to a normal song and later in 2017, Wiggle Around Australia and Nursery Rhymes (DVD version) did the same.
• Each of the current Wiggles mentioned the former Wiggles at the beginning of this video, Simon mentioned that Murray was the first red Wiggle, Emma mentioned that Sam and Greg were the first yellow Wiggle (Sam was the second yellow Wiggle while Greg was recovering his illness for five years) and Lachy mentioned that Jeff was the first purple Wiggle.
• This is the fourth video to be released the year after the album came out.
• This is the second video to use the Coloured Borders. However only one is use this time but the only one to use the second borders is Here Comes a Bear which they ripped from the 2010 version.

Goofs

The original song titles for "Quack Quack", "The Monkey Dance", "Go Santa Go!" and "Move Your Arms Like Henry"

• The Australian DVD once again lists the bonus clips from 1993 as being from 1991. The 2014 US DVD from NCircle marks the only release of either version to get the year correct on the cover, though the menu (as it is the same as the Australian version) retains the mistake.
• The opening credits show clips of "Wake Up, Lachy!" and "Henry's Dance", though neither appears in the video.
• Like the original, some song title cards aren't properly covered up by the new ones. While Hot Potato and Play Your Guitar With Murray were fixed, Quack Quack's song title is even more visible than in the 2010 version and the original song titles for The Monkey Dance, Go Santa Go and Move Your Arms Like Henry can also briefly be seen.
• Once again, I'm Dorothy the Dinosaur! is credited as being from Dorothy the Dinosaur's Party, despite it being the version that appears in Dorothy the Dinosaur's Memory Book and her 2nd TV Series.
• Likewise, the version of You Make Me Feel Like Dancing that appears here is credited to its eponymous video, despite it being the version that appears in Wiggle and Learn.  
• In the song credits, Murray Cook and Jeff Fatt's names are listed on Rock-A-Bye Your Bear, Anthony Field's name is listed on Get Ready To Wiggle and Greg Page's name replaces Sam Moran's in the credits for Murray Had A Turtle.
