What do you think the yearly weather is like on Sesame Street? We know that it at least gets cold enough to snow in the winter! Although most of the monsters on Sesame Street have furry coats, others probably need to add more layers to their outfits when it gets cold out. And even the fuzziest monsters have been known to put on a hat or a scarf if the occasion calls for it!
Unfortunately, most of us don't have warm fur like Elmo and the rest of the monsters, so we definitely have to bundle up in winter weather! There's nothing that helps us feel cozier than a cute knit hat, and if you're a fan of Sesame Street, you should consider adding this one to your collection!

It's true. Cookie Monster loves all cookies. But we all know that chocolate chip cookies are best served warm. You know, when they're ooey gooey, and fresh out of the oven. Preferably with an ice-cold glass of milk (oat or dairy, your choice). Even Cookie Monster would agree! Now, there's way to help give you that "fresh out of the oven" kind of feeling when you head outside during winter weather.

We always wondered what Big Bird did in the wintertime. Most birds fly south for the winter to take advantage of the warm winter climate of the southern hemisphere, but Big Bird is kind of big. If he actually took to the sky, Sesame Street would probably have to call air traffic control. Now that we think about it, does Sesame Street have its own airport? Hmm, until we figure this out, think about pitting on our exclusive Winter Big Bird Pom Hat, made by us.

This officially licensed Winter Big Bird Pom Hat is perfect for Sesame Street fans looking to rock their favorite friendly bird. No, he can't fly, but he's had us emotionally soaring for decades. Our designers ensured to include Bird Bird's iconic look and color scheme in the bird pom. We know all know who is really the flyest on the street. Let the street know and put your Winter Big Bird Pom Hat.

Disney+ honored Gonzo's illustrious Hollywood journey with "Gonzo the Great: A Career Retrospective" featuring the daredevil himself reminiscing about his film and TV career.
"Dive inside the mind of the one and only Gonzo the Great as we reflect on his decades-long career. Finding fame on The Muppet Show in 1976, Gonzo catapulted (sometimes quite literally) into icon status, starring in classics like The Muppet Christmas Carol (which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year!), and new Disney+ Originals, including #MuppetsHauntedMansion and #MuppetsNow. From motorcycles to tapioca, hear about his greatest moments and achievements."
Conveniently they don't mention any of the titles NOT owned by Disney like The Muppets take Manhattan and the VERY Gonzo centric Muppets From Space, but it's still great to see Disney put an effort into showcasing Gonzo and the Muppets accomplishments.

Very sad news to report as Bob McGrath, known to fans around the world as "Bob" on Sesame Street has died.
Bob was one of the original "people in our neighborhood" having been with the show from it's premier to 2019.
Before "coming to play" on Sesame Street, McGrath performed record producer/singer Mitch Miller' chorus eventually becoming a featured soloist. During this time the troupe were invited to perform in Las Vegas and Japan.
While on tour in Japan Bob developed a sizable teenage following, where he was known as Bobu Magurasu and had eight hit albums and more than 30 hit singles. After three years sellout crowds he was given the opportunity to move to Japan. However, he decided to stay in the US and be close with his family.
Not soon after Bob heard about a little children's show called Sesame Street and the rest is history. Since join the show he appeared in countless Sesame productions including the feature films Follow That Bird and Elmo's Adventures in Goochland, holiday specials, video games and more.
One of the last times Bob was on the street was for the show's 50th Anniversary special in 2019.
The news of Bob's passing came from his family via social media where they also shared a look at a digital scrapbook of his career.
Hello Facebook friends, the McGrath family has some sad news to share. Our father Bob McGrath, passed away today. He died peacefully at home, surrounded by his family
Sesame Street released the following statement regarding Bob's passing.
Sesame Workshop mourns the passing of Bob McGrath, a beloved member of the Sesame Street family for over 50 years.
