This album was based on the Christmas Eve on Sesame Street special, with songs and dialogue from the original soundtrack and new narration. Jon Stone voices the narrator who subtly reveals himself to be Santa Claus by the end of the story. The album itself came in a gatefold cover with illustrations based on the visuals from the original TV special, and an insert sleeve with sheet music and lyrics for the songs "True Blue Miracle" and "Keep Christmas with You (All Through the Year)."
The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording for Children, but lost to In Harmony: A Sesame Street Record.
