Merry Christmas from Sesame Street is a children's Christmas album featuring characters from Sesame Street and released in 1975 by the Children's Television Workshop and Children's Records of America (#CTW 25516). The album was nominated for the 1976 Grammy Awards, but lost to another Sesame Street album, Bert & Ernie Sing-Along.[2]
Some of the songs and stories were used in the special, Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, three years later. The album was partially re-released in 1995 as A Sesame Street Christmas, although some of the tracks were altered to remove characters who were no longer on the show, and replace them with newer characters.
