The theme song, "Light of Christmas," is by the popular Owl City, and features the legendary, TobyMac.
"We're especially excited to be adding a celebrity okra to our star-studded cast of vegetables to give our new holiday DVD added fun and sparkle, while illuminating the core values of VeggieTales," said Leslie Ferrell, President of Big Idea Entertainment in a press release. "Si Robertson is a perfect fit because, like VeggieTales, Duck Commander is all about celebrating faith and family."
Extras in the film include a special Owl City and TobyMac lyric video and the newest Silly Song with Larry, "Wrapped Myself Up for Christmas."
VeggieTales is working with Operation Christmas Child, which is a global children's project of Samaritan's Purse. Bob and Larry are the official spokes-vegetables for 2013 to encourage families to join in the collection of millions of shoebox gifts and to share God's love with children in need.
