Insert sleeve with lyrics for Side 2.
Released on LP in 1984, Sesame Street Christmas Sing-Along was the last album released on the Sesame Street Records label, and one of the last Sesame Street albums to be issued on vinyl. True to the sing-along theme of this album, all of the song lyrics were included on the inner sleeve.
On the Golden Music Cassette release and all digital versions of the album, the part at the end of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" where Big Bird says "There's a lot more Christmas songs on the other side, so just turn the record over" is cut.
