ABOUT:

Celebrate with the ultimate collection of Thomas & Friends™ tales that every child will be asking for!  Just in time for the holidays is the first collection of fun, festive, winter-themed adventures in new CG animation with Thomas and his engine friends in Thomas & Friends: Merry Winter Wish. Children will also enjoy host Driver Perkins, who can ONLY be seen on DVD, and engages children with interactive dialogue and extra fun!

Teaching timeless life lessons such as discovery, friendship and cooperation, the Thomas & Friends animated series invites children to enter a world of imagination through the tracks of a train and the words of a story.  Whether gathering for Knapford Station’s light display or the Town Square’s Snowman Party, retrieving scattered decorations or the delivery of a very special Christmas Tree-creating box, Thomas and his railway pals will warm your heart!

Next stop, Winter Wonderland!  Join Thomas and his friends as they celebrate the holidays in these four enchanting tales. Thomas has a special delivery for the season – the Star of Knapford, a festive light that makes wishes come true!  The children are excited for the Snowman Party in the Town Square but it’s up to Thomas to find the snowman a special hat before the party can begin. Watch Bash, Dash and Ferdinand prepare for the first ever Misty Island Christmas party. Then Henry helps Sir Topham Hatt prepare a secret holiday surprise for all of Sodor.  The more friends the merrier, so join the fun and see that winter wishes do come true with Thomas & Friends!

• “Thomas’ Merry Winter Wish”

• “Merry Misty Island”
• “Henry’s Magic Box”

DVD BONUS FEATURES

• “Sir Topham Hatt’s Snowman” Game

MY THOUGHTS:

I think this is the perfect DVD to get kids, whether Thomas fans or not, into the Christmas mood.  It features Santa, snowmen, Christmas lights and trees, snow, and more!  The DVD is broken down into four episodes, all with Christmas themes, and are great to watch separately or all in a row.  My sons were super excited to see Bash and Dash which they first met in the DVD Misty Island Rescue. This DVD is also narrated more than the trains talk, which I know some people prefer. I love though the lessons my kids learn from Thomas & Friends like working together, making friends, doing your work, and more.  Overall, this really is a cute DVD for any child, but of course especially for kids that love trains or Thomas!
