Curious George Holiday Spectacular: Learn The Man in the Yellow Hat's Name

I’m as much of a Curious George fan as my kids are. Even Jaxson loves Curious George-he’s always yelling out “George! George!” at the television. We’re excited about the Curious George Holiday Spectacular airing on PBS today, November 23. If you miss it today, there will be encore showings on PBS KIDS throughout the Thanksgiving weekend. (Check your listings for times)

A three-movie on-air event, the Holiday Spectacular kicks off with Curious George, featuring the voices of Will Ferrell, Drew Barrymore and Dick Van Dyke, as well as the music of Jack Johnson, followed by Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey and Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas. Strangely enough, I had never seen the first movie before, but have watched the others with the kids.

I even learned The Man in the Yellow Hat’s first name. I’m not telling. You’ll have to watch Curious George to find out what it is. He even has a love interest. Oh, and we learn how The Man in the Yellow Hat and Curious George came to live together.

Get the popcorn and snuggle up on the couch this weekend for the movie marathon.

I received a Curious George party kit that included craft supplies and copy of Curious George DVD. All opinions are my own and my husband and I were excited to learn The Man in the Yellow Hat’s name. Yes, we’re that geeky. Affiliate links are included in this post. Photo courtesy of PBS.
