Should I sit with them?

Plan to sit with them at least until 5. After that, many families can watch with a grown-up nearby rather than on the couch. The notes above say what happens. You know your child. This is not medical advice.

TV special -- 2020 -- Netflix

A Trash Truck Christmas

Same hand-drawn world as Trash Truck, twenty-eight minutes. Hank is six. Trash Truck is his giant talking truck friend. Walter is a bear, Donny a raccoon, Ms Mona a mouse. None of them know what Christmas is until Hank opens a storybook. Then Santa crash-lands in the junkyard and a ski falls off the sleigh.

Trash Truck, the giant talking truck, is in the yard with Hank. Engine, beeps, metal. Same friendly vehicle noise as the series, still big in a quiet night.

Theme. A holiday special does not make the truck smaller. Sound-sensitive kids will notice the engine before the storybook.

What to say. You might say: 'That is the same truck from the other episodes. We can turn him down while they talk about Christmas.'
