Elmo's Birthday

Today is Elmo’s birthday! Elmo is everyone's favorite red monster from Sesame Street –  always friendly, playful, and lively. We adore him for his cute giggle and adventurous ways. 

Elmo's first appearance on Sesame Street was in 1980. He became such a popular character that he was eventually given his own segment called "Elmo’s World." This furry monster always refers to himself in the third person and has a large family, including a goldfish named Dorothy. His favorite toy that he often carries around is a monster doll, and he loves his blue blanket. Elmo enjoys almost all foods, especially wasabi, but hates Brussels sprouts!

To celebrate this beloved character’s birthday, catch an episode of Sesame Street and enjoy some spicy wasabi while you watch. You can also celebrate by sending one of our free online Sesame Street invitations for an upcoming party!
