VeggieTales Christmas Spectacular!

VeggieTales Christmas Spectacular! was a television special that aired on PAX in 1998.

The special took place on a big stage where the Veggies have ostensibly booked time with a major network to air a special film as part for the "VeggieTales Christmas Spectacular!" However, one big problem becomes almost immediately clear - Larry the Cucumber can't find the film. Given this discouraging news, the Veggies attempt to fill the time with a variety of musical performances.

First up is Junior Asparagus who is being uplinked by satellite live from the Holy Lands. He sings the song "While By My Sheep" surrounded by a flock of sheep that bleat along with the melody. When the satellite uplink is lost, the Veggies continue to scramble while Pa Grape attempts to buy time with the network, which is threatening to pull the plug on the production.

Next up is a "Silly Song with Larry" sketch called "Oh, Santa!"

The third musical number features Archibald Asparagus singing a German folk song, "Ring, Little Bells", while ringing some bells. Larry joins in, but as the song ends the Veggies learn that the network is about to pull the plug. Fortunately the film reel is found and the 1996 video feature The Toy that Saved Christmas is played.

A slightly reworked version of this television special was later released as a bonus feature for the DVD release of "The Toy that Saved Christmas".
