A Very Merry Christmas is a Barney Clip Show that was released on October 11, 2011. It features scenes from Seasons 10-11 of Barney & Friends.
Plot
Barney and the kids are decorating the caboose for Christmas. Barney explains the concept of "Snowflake Buddies", in which one chooses a paper snowflake, and gives the person who's name is written on the snowflake a gift. Baby Bop then arrives with a long Christmas wish-list, so Barney and his friends explain to her that Christmas is also about giving. Later, the group decides to write Christmas cards to their friends, as well as Santa Claus. Later, they act out a Christmas story of "The Nutcracker".

Trivia
The Title Card
- This video marks the fifth Christmas special in the Barney franchise respectively following Waiting for Santa, Barney's Night Before Christmas, Barney's Christmas Star, and "Gift of the Dinos" / "A Visit to Santa".
- After not being used for fourteen years, the song, "It's Twinkle Time", returns in the new content of this video, since the album, Happy Holidays Love, Barney.
- Unlike Barney's Christmas Star and "Gift of the Dinos" / "A Visit to Santa", the new content for this video uses the regular version of "I Love You", rather than the Christmas version of that song.
- The Barney Theme Song is also ommitted as the video has its own intro whose background music is a shortened instrumental arrangement of We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
Footage
- Scenes from Barney's Christmas Star and Barney's Night Before Christmas feature Dean Wendt's Barney voice dubbed over the original ones.
Characters
- This video marked:
- The final appearance of Joshua.
- The only appearances of Maddie and Travis, and the only time they appeared with Joshua.
- However, none of Maddie's and Travis' names are mentioned in this video. And even before Travis appeared in this video, the actor, Brenden Stanton, was seen in some of the interstitials of Season 14.
Release date
- This video was released nine years after "Play It Safe!" aired, five years after "Dancing" and "Singing" aired and, eighteen years after "The Exercise Circus!" aired.
- This video was also released four years after "Gift of the Dinos" and "A Visit to Santa" aired since both those segments were Christmas-themed episodes.
