Sesame Street Stays Up Late!

A sweet New Year&apos;s special certainly showing that we don&apos;t always celebrate the same way

The whole premise of this 1993 New Year&apos;s Eve special, which was funded by six broadcasters who created their own Sesame Street co-productions or aired the original show, is to give an overview of how different countries in the world ring in the New Year. However, the main focus is in the United States within Sesame Street itself.

The synopsis is that while most of the adult residents are at their own parties, Gina and Savion stay behind to help the kids celebrate, with help from Big Bird and the other muppets. All in the meanwhile, worrywart Telly Monster, who doesn&apos;t understand the concept of the New Year, is paranoid about the year ending, and Oscar doesn&apos;t help matters. This leads to fun antics, like where he disguises himself as a human and fools the kids and muppets, and &quot;hides away from the New Year&quot;, but Gina shows him that there&apos;s nothing to worry about. Good stuff indeed.

All in the meanwhile, Elmo hosts the &quot;Monster News Network&quot;, where he showcases how the New Year is celebrated in Israel, Portugal, Germany, Norway, Mexico, and Japan. The first four represented by the respective co-productions, the last two represented by Rosita and two original characters named Cousin Pepe (Mexico) and Elmo-noske (Japan).

This is one of my favourite New Year specials. It perfectly represents what the holiday is meant to be, and it just makes you feel good. To hardcore Sesame Street and Muppet fans, it&apos;s also neat seeing the characters from a small selection of co-productions as well.
