The Christmas show
HO-HO Holiday Show
The kids laugh when Frosty the Snowman can't remember the words to his own song, and giggle when Mrs. Claus says Richard has been a naughty boy. Then comes some wiggling and twisting with Santa's best buddy Rodney the Rat as he sings his hit Christmas song, the Ho Ho Twist.
Richard's multitude of colorful wacky characters, goofy gags and Ho Ho helpers from the audience mix up a forty-five minute batch of cool, clever Christmas fun — a treat for the whole family that leaves everyone laughing and wondering how those puppets were talking.
