JoJo's Circus

Unlike some kids might, JoJo doesn't ever give any name to the bird she rescues, although it does seem to be known as "Birdie."

Second holiday episode.

Premiered in a primetime block.

Christmas themed.

Bal Boa is notably absent throughout "A Circus Town Christmas." Although no mention is made of him, it's possible that his family doesn't celebrate the holidays, or celebrates something else, such as Hannukah.

This episode airs on Playhouse Disney only around Christmas.

Although several traditional Christmas pieces are used, Tchaikovsky is the only musician mentioned on close-captioning, when "The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies" plays.

Mr. Tickle tells JoJo that the Santa Clown was passed down from his great-grandfather all the way to him and someday JoJo will give it to her kids. This indicates that JoJo will likely always be an only child.

A Christmas themed title display as used and Christmas images are shown for the closing credits in the background. Snowflakes are used as scene-changers throughout. The "Spotlight Moment" song includes fa la las in the background.

Birdie ends up wearing a Santa hat and when her babies hatch, she produces two smaller Santa hats seemingly out of nowhere and places them on their heads. Additionally, apparently by magic, she and her birdies are all able to fly up to the top of the Tickle family Christmas tree.
