Synopsis

In this episode of *Sesame Street*, the characters are getting ready for Christmas. Bert and Ernie exchange gifts in a manner reminiscent of "The Gift of the Magi," Cookie Monster is determined to obtain his most desired treat of the season, and Big Bird becomes concerned when Oscar the Grouch tells him that if Santa Claus cannot fit down the chimney on Christmas Eve, no one will receive presents. To help Big Bird, Grover and Kermit the Frog, along with some interviewed children, decide to assist in an investigation. However, when Big Bird takes it upon himself to resolve the issue, the entire neighborhood is thrown into a frantic effort to locate him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
