New "Sesame Street" Holiday Special, "Elmo & Mark Rober’s Merry Giftmas" Coming to Netflix!

Netflix announced a brand new Sesame Street holiday special, Elmo & Mark Rober’s Merry Giftmas will premiere on the streamer next month. 

Elmo & Mark Rober’s Merry Giftmas features Elmo teaming up with NASA-trained engineer, Rober to make presents for a gift exchange — while learning about science and the importance of friends during the holiday season. 

At Sesame Street, we love teaming up with like-minded partners to spark curiosity and inspire playful learning,” said Kay Wilson Stallings, Executive Vice President, Chief Creative Development & Production Officer, Sesame Workshop. “Collaborating with NASA-trained engineer Mark Rober, Elmo and friends explore relatable science concepts in a festive Netflix holiday special, making an unforgettable experience for the whole family.”

“Teaming up with Elmo and the Sesame Street Muppets is pretty much a childhood dream come true and while viewers might not make a snowball throwing robot exactly like Abby and me, it’s proof that with a little imagination and creativity, you could make anything you can dream up.” said Rober.

The new season of Sesame Street is now streaming on Netflix as well as Mark Rober’s CrunchLabs, which highlights the engineer’s viral science and DIY videos. 

Elmo & Mark Rober’s Merry Giftmas premieres Dec. 8 with three new original songs: “Merry Giftmas,” “Failure is Awesome,” and “The Best Christmas Gift is You.”

Sesame Street Season 56 is now streaming on Netflix and PBS Kids!
