Big Bird waving a wreath:
Santa hat Elmo
(This one shows just how ready for the next Step-Up or Breakin' squeal Ernie is)

I really like the how this one shows the cool squash and stretch distortion of the figure.
Series 3 consists of Elmo, Bert, Ernie, Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch. Each has an optional holiday accessory that can be removed when the holiday season is over.
Walk like an Egyptian Bert with his wrapped pink soap dish:
