But I'd like to find out what the weather is today.
Will you go outside with me?
Okay, let's go, friends.
Let's all go outside together.
Here we go.
Ooh, friends, it feels really cold outside.
Ooh, can you pretend you're cold too?
Take your arms and pretend you're giving yourself a hug
and say, cold.
Yes, let's do it again.
It's cold outside.
One more time.
Give yourself a big hug and say, cold.
It's cold outside.
Oh, my friends, look.
Is it raining outside?

It's cold.
It's cold outside.
Oh, I wonder, what should I wear?
When it's cold outside, what do you wear?
Oh, maybe I should wear a coat and a scarf
so I can stay nice and warm.
Hmm, I think I'm going to get my pink coat
and my pink scarf.
On the count of three, will you count with me?
Here we go.
One, two, three.
Oh, my pink scarf and my pink coat.
Oh boy, I feel nice and warm now.
I feel nice and warm.
Oh, what's our friend Piggy Pig going to wear?
Piggy Pig, are you cold?
Yes, Miss Monica, I am very cold.
Oh, friends, we have to help Piggy Pig.
I think Piggy Pig has a pink coat just like mine.
Can you help Piggy Pig find her pink coat?
You can point.
Use your pointer finger or your pointer.
Point to Piggy Pig's pink coat.
You found it.
Yay.
Thank you, friends.
Oh, Piggy Pig also has a pink scarf.
Can you find the pink scarf?
Point to the pink scarf.
Use your pointer finger or your pointer.
Point to the pink scarf.

Great.
Point to Piggy Pig's pink hat.
Use your pointer finger or your pointer.
Point to the pink hat.
Oh, you found it.
Yay.
Thank you for helping.
You're such a great helper.
Oh, friends, what are some things we can do in the snow?
Now that we're nice and warm, maybe we can have some fun.
Oh, some people like to go skiing in the snow,
tubing in the snow, even have snowball fun fights.
Oh, and they can even make snow angels or even snowmen.
What should we do today?
Let's go skiing.
Okay, we'll need our ski poles.
Two ski poles.
Hold them.
One, two.
And let's put our feet in our skis.
Oh, I think we're ready.
Are you ready to go skiing?
Okay, friends, get ready.
Here we go.
Ski.
Come on, friends.
Let's go.
Come on, friends.
Keep going.
And stop.
Oh, that was so much fun.
Oh, lots of work too.
Did you have fun skiing?
You did?
Oh, I did too.
How about we make snowballs?
Let's pretend.
Do you wanna make pretend snowballs?
Okay, we have to pick up the snow and roll it,
roll it, roll it.
Should we throw the snow?
And then throw.
Roll it, roll it, roll it.
Roll.
Pick up the snow.
Roll.
That was so much fun.
Did you have fun, friends?
Well, I hope you did.
I had fun too.
Oh, it's starting to get a little bit cold out here,
even with my coat on.
I think it's time to go back in,
back into our gingerbread house.
Hi, friends.
Happy holidays.
It's me, Bear Bear.
I wanted to know if you wanted to play a game with me.

And happy holidays.
Bye.
I'm so happy we're back inside, friends.
It's so warm inside.
Oh, it looks like it's time to find out
what the letter of the day is.
It's our alphabet soup.
That means there's letters inside, friends.
How about we sing our ABCs first?
Will you sing with me?
Yay!
Great, I'm going to mix up our alphabet soup
while we sing.
Get ready, get ready.
Here we go.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G,

Q, R, S, T, U, V,
W, X, Y, and Z.
Now I know my ABCs.
Next time won't you sing with me?
Will you sing with me again?
You will?
Let's sing it a little faster.
We have to mix this alphabet soup.
Here we go.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P,
Q, R, S, T, U, V,
W, X, Y, and Z.
Now I know my ABCs.
Next time won't you sing with me?
You will?
Oh, wonderful.
Oh, alphabet soup, what's our letter of the day?
Alphabet soup, alphabet soup, what's our letter of the day?
C, C is our letter of the day.
Can you say C?
Again, say C.
Try it again with me.
C, that's right.
Every letter makes a sound, and C says ck, C says ck.
Can you try and make that sound?
Watch me.
You try.
Again, ck, again, ck.
C says ck for cookie.
C says ck for doo, doo, doo, doo.
I need my spoon.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Cookie.
Look at my cookie.
Can you say cookie?
Again, cookie.
I hear that C sound at the beginning.
Cookie.
It's a gingerbread cookie.
I'm going to smell it.
Delicious.
It smells like ginger.
It smells yummy.
Oh, friends, guess what?
Today, we're going to decorate gingerbread cookies.
We'll wait for our friend Duck Duck to come,
and then we'll decorate gingerbread cookies.
C for cookie.
Oh, there's something else in here.
C for doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Whoa, it fell down.
Let me get it again.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
It's a candy cane.
C says ck.
Candy cane.
First, let's say candy.
Can you say candy?
Good.
Now, candy cane.
Say it with me.
Candy cane.
One more time.
Candy cane.
This is a type of candy you can eat.
Yes, you can.
Oftentimes, I see this during holiday times.
What color is our candy cane?
Red and white.
Candy cane.
Mm, it's delicious.
It tastes like mint.
Like peppermint.
Oh, friends, our letter of the day is C.
C says ck.
Cookie.
Candy cane.
Yummy.
Oh, did you hear that?
Did you hear that?
Listen.
Who is it?
C, C, C.
It's me, hello, Cuck Cuck.
And where's the Cuck Cuck?
Let's sing.
♪ Hello, Cuck Cuck. ♪
♪ We're happy you're here today. ♪
Oh, Cuck Cuck, look at our table.
Today, we are having a holiday friends party.
And before we go to the party,
we have to decorate our gingerbread cookies.
Are you ready to help?
Yes, yes.
All right.
I'm ready to decorate.
Now, I already decorated our gingerbread house,
but I need help with this big, big gingerbread cookie.
Oh, so we have candy that we can put
on our gingerbread cookie.
Look.
And we also have icing.
Icing is something you can eat,
but you can also decorate cookies
and cakes and cupcakes with.
So we have red icing and we have white icing.
And we have some icing in a bag
and I'm gonna squeeze it out from the bag.
And look, I also did something special.
I took some of my paint material.
It's nice and clean.
And I put icing inside and a little tiny paintbrush.
This can really be helpful for young children
when they're trying to paint on the icing.
Well, when they're putting on the icing,
we can paint it on instead.
So that can be really helpful,
but you have to do it quick
because the icing can get really, really hard.
Okay?
Now, before we bake or cook or decorate,
we always have to wash our hands.
I already washed my hands.
Duck Duck, did you wash your hands?
Yes, yes.
Wonderful.
Well, maybe the friends at home didn't wash their hands yet.
Let's pretend we all are washing our hands together.
Everyone ready?
Okay, two hands up.
Let's pretend we're going to wash our hands.
Wash, wash, wash our hands.
Wash the germs away.
Wash, wash, wash our hands.
Wash the germs away.
Again.
Wash, wash, wash our hands.
Wash the germs away.
Wash, wash, wash our hands.
Wash the germs away.
Oh, let's pretend we're putting soap.
We need a little soap now.
And a little water.
Now let's scrub our hands
and make sure we get all in there
and get all those germs and dirt off of our hands.
Again.
Wash, wash, wash our hands.
Wash the germs away.
Wash, wash, wash our hands.
Wash the germs away.
Okay, let's rinse.
Let me help Duck Duck.
All right, and now we have to dry our hands.
Let's pretend we have a paper towel or a towel.
Dry, dry, dry.
Your turn, Duck Duck.
Dry, dry, dry.
I think we're ready.
Now we can decorate our cookies.
Okay, Duck Duck, I need your help.
Duck Duck, I need your help.
I'm gonna squeeze a little icing bag here.
Let me squeeze it.
I have to turn, turn, turn, turn, turn.
And then the icing starts to come out.
Look at that.
It's starting to come out.
Oh, it's dripping.
And plop onto my finger.
Uh-oh.
Should I taste it?
What do you think, Duck Duck?
Take a little taste.
My turn.
It's delicious.
Okay, I have my paper towel here.
Let me clean my finger.
All right, let me practice squeezing my little icing bag.
And I'm gonna bring our gingerbread cookie
closer to Duck Duck.
And Duck Duck, you ready?
Okay, let's squeeze.
We're gonna put a little bit in the button here
and squeeze a little bit here.
And you can squeeze too.
And a little more.
And let's bring it back a little so Duck Duck can reach.
Good job.
Okay, now let's add some candy.
We'll pretend it's buttons.
We'll do red, red, and red.
Ooh, look at the candy buttons.
So cute.
Okay, let's add some more icing, Duck Duck.
We're going to follow the eyes, the nose, and the mouth.
Here we go.
Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze.
And I'm gonna go around.
Follow the mouth.
Wow, look at that.
I think we can add some candy to it, Duck Duck.
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.
Look at all that candy.
Okay, how about we add a big one for the nose?
Here you go.
Yellow?
Thank you.
Yellow nose.
And let's add two little red ones for the eyes.
Perfect.
Thank you, Duck Duck.
And we'll add some candy to the mouth.
I'm just gonna sprinkle a little bit of candy
on that mouth there.
Yee, wow, look at that.
So fun, so fun.
Look at all that candy.
It's a candy mouth.
Okay, now let's squeeze a little more icing.
Let's do icing on the hands and the two feet.
We'll do white first, and then we'll add some red icing.
Okay, let me squeeze my icing bag again.
Here we go, Duck Duck.
And squeeze, and over here I'll do this side.
Squeeze, squeeze, and I'm gonna do the feet
since it's a little difficult for you
to reach the feet down there.
Okay, squeeze, wow.
Then add some red on top.
Good idea?
Yes, yes.
Thank you, Duck Duck.
Okay, I'll let you help with the hand on this side.
Here we go.
Squeeze, oh, we have to squeeze a little harder.
Squeeze, good job, and again.
Squeeze, thank you for your help, Duck Duck.
Okay, I'm gonna do this hand.
Squeeze, I'm gonna make like zigzag lines.
Zigzag, zigzag, and over here, zigzag, zigzag,
and here, zigzag, zigzag, and here, zigzag, zigzag.
Wow, look at our gingerbread cookie.
This is our gingerbread girl.
Look at her, she's so cute.
Look at that, Duck Duck, do you like it?
Wonderful, do you like it, friends?
This was fun to create.
Oh, wow, look at my gift boxes.
Friends, I need your help packing my gift boxes.
I bought toys for all of my friends for the holiday party.
I'm going to put toys in the red box and the blue box.
Will you help me?
Great, all of the red toys go in the red box.
Can you say red?
Red, thank you, and all of the blue toys go in the blue.
Can you say blue?
Blue, let's get ready.
Remember, when a toy pops up, say the color.
Here we go, ooh, it's a red plane.
Which box should we put it in?
You can point, red, it's a blue teddy bear.
Where does it go?
In the blue box, ooh, it's a blue robot.
Where should we put it?
In the blue, ooh, it's a red horse.
Where should we put it?
In the red box, ooh, look at the duck.
Where does the duck go?
Quack, quack, balloon, rabbit.
Where does the bunny go?
In red, look at that fire engine.
Woo, woo, woo, where does the fire engine go?
In the red, ooh, and a toy elephant.
Where does the elephant go?
You did it, thank you friends for all your help, yay.
Okay, now we have three little gingerbread cookies
over here, we have to decorate these for our friends
coming to our friend's holiday party.
So I'm gonna move those there, oh, right here, okay.
This is our gingerbread girl and these can be, hmm,
gingerbread boy, gingerbread boy,
and another gingerbread girl, how about that?
Yes, yes, oh, Duck Duck agrees.
Okay, Duck Duck, this one you can help with right here.
Okay, let's start with our icing.
Eyes first, eyes, eyes, ooh, let's give him a little mouth.
Squeeze, and let's do the buttons, squeeze,
and again, squeeze, thank you.
And I'm gonna go all the way around, Duck Duck.
You see that?
Wow, does it look pretty?
Thank you, Duck Duck, we're doing this together.
Okay, let's add some buttons, boop, boop, boop, boop.
And we need some eyes, and let's add some red icing.
Here it comes, ready everyone?
Say squeeze, and again, I have to push really hard,
squeeze, ooh, there's number one, look at that.
Okay, let's decorate another.
Okay, let's get some more white icing,
here we go, Duck Duck.
We need eyes, boop, boop, eyes, boop, boop.
Let's do this one a little different, ooh, okay.
Let's cover that hand, and we'll cover the feet,
and cover the feet, cover the feet,
and get one, two in the middle.
Now let's add lots of candy to this one.
Lots of candy on the feet here, candy here.
Duck Duck likes the candy, everyone.
Yes, lots of candy here, and on this side too,
and two eyes, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop,
and a big button in the middle.
Wow, look at that one, Duck Duck, so fun.
Okay, and we have one more, how many more?
One, one more gingerbread cookie.
This is our second gingerbread girl.
Oh, you wanna see Duck Duck?
Oh, Duck Duck's trying to eat the gingerbread cookie.
Not yet, Duck Duck, we have to wait a little longer.
Okay, let's squeeze, here we go, more icing.
Squeeze, squeeze, ooh, and a little bit,
squeeze, squeeze, thank you, Duck Duck,
and squeeze for the hands, and over here, squeeze,
and for the feet, squeeze, thank you, Duck Duck,
squeeze again, okay, I think we're ready.
Let's add lots of red icing to this one.
Okay, I'm gonna put a lot on the hand here,
boop, boop, and I'm gonna go around this cookie like this.
It's like I'm tracing the cookie all the way around.
I'm gonna use all of our red icing, all of the red icing.
Boop, yay, okay, two eyes, we'll just add some eyes here.
One, and one more, Duck Duck, push, two, we did it, wow.
Look at that, everyone, so much fun.
Now we have our big gingerbread cookie, big,
and we have our smaller ones.
Duck Duck, do you think we're ready
for our friend's holiday party?
Yes, yes, I think so, too.
We have to wash our hands, clean the table up,
and get ready for our friend's holiday party.
Are you all coming, too?
Great, we can all go to the party together.
Come on, we have to wash our hands first.
Here we go, for our holiday friend's party.
Everyone come around, come around, Duck Duck,
are you ready?
Quack, quack, quack, yes, yes, yes, oh, I'm ready, too.
Let's start decorating our table
