VeggieTales are delightfully corny. The slapstick comedy in these animated and overtly Christian shows are guaranteed to have the whole family laughing out loud and singing along to the catchy tunes.

These episodes also have parody from many other films sprinkled throughout making them fun for adults and children alike.

VeggieTales are surprisingly traditional considering the heavy Protestant influence. They always have a moral and Bible verse to support the point, but the way that the stories are told is almost non-denominational without favoring a particular Protestant sect.

VeggieTales Balloon Characters

If you’ve got a little one who lights up when their favorite VeggieTales characters come on screen, a VeggieTale birthday party might be the easiest way to make their day feel extra special.

And here’s the good news—you don’t need an expansive budget or hours of prep to pull it off.

In fact, some of the best parties come together with just simple supplies, a creative edge, and a whole lot of love.

VeggieTale Birthday Party Decorations: Getting The Feel

VeggieTale Party Decorations

Grab a variety pack balloons and a black permanent marker. Start drawing VeggieTale character faces on the appropriately colored balloon. Some favorites include Mr. Lunt, Madame Blueberry, and, of course, Bob and Larry.

They don’t have to be perfect. Kids don’t care about perfection—they care that you made it for them.

Add some colored streamers, and suddenly your living or dining room feels like the VeggieTale gang came for a visit. 

A Cake That Feels Personal (Without the Stress)

A Cake That Feels Personal

VeggieTales Birthday Cake

No need to be a professional baker here.

A simple homemade or store-bought cake works perfectly. Just print a few VeggieTales' images and turn them into cake toppers by gluing them onto a popsicle stick.

You can even let your child help place the topper and that moment also becomes part of the memory.

Music, Laughs, and Familiar Favorites

Music and Familiar Favorites

Do you know one thing kids really love? Recognizing songs they already know.

Pull up a VeggieTales playlist on Pandora and let it play in the background while kids eat, play, and celebrate. One of our favorite VeggieTales albums is Bob and Larry Go Country!

You’ll hear giggles, singing, and maybe even witness a few dance moves.

What Really Makes It Special

What Really Makes It Special

At the end of the day, it’s not about having the fanciest decorations or the most perfect cake.

It’s about helping your child celebrate and have fun. Many children love hosting parties featuring their favorite Disney princesses or other more secular themes. With a VeggieTale birthday party, you can cater to this same desire with wholesome characters. All you need is:

A few handmade touches…
A favorite Silly Song playing…
Characters they love all around them…

That’s the kind of party that makes an impression and happy memories that last.

Industrious Family's Favorite VeggieTales Movies

Favorite VeggieTales Movies

Here are a few go-to favorites that work beautifully after a party (or anytime you need a little wholesome fun):

01 The Ballad of Little Joe

01 The Ballad of Little Joe

In this episode, the story of Joseph is told with Western flair.

When Little Joe is sold by his jealous brothers to a band of desperados, he is carried far away from his family and brought to Dodgeball City. Here he becomes very popular until another jealous person turns him in to the law and he lands in jail.

Despite all of his misfortunes, Little Joe knows that God loves him and is using the evil things in his life for good somehow.

Little Joe is soon given the opportunity to use the gifts God has given him to interpret the Mayor's frightening dream. With the prediction from the dream, Little Joe is put in charge and is able to save not only Dodgeball City, but his family as well from starvation.

Little Joe's family comes to live in Dodgeball City and it is the best reunion the West has ever seen.

02 Moe and the Big Exit

02 Moe and the Big Exit

In the Ballad of Little Joe sequel, the descendants of Little Joe have become the slaves of Dodgeball City.

They paint the desert and build the Grand Canyon for their zucchini masters. But God chooses one of Little Joe's descendants to lead His people out of Dodgeball City: Moe. In this playful retelling of the Exodus, Moe learns to trust God's plan instead of his own strength to truly help his people.

When Moe does what he thinks is best, Mayor Nezzer only makes things harder for the descendants of Little Joe.

But when Moe trusts God's plan, his walking stick turns into a rattlesnake, the prairie dogs torment the inhabitants of Dodgeball City, and snow falls across Death Valley to allow the descendants of Little Joe to walk across unharmed. 

03 The Star of Christmas

03 The Star of Christmas

It's their big break and with the noble goal of teaching London to love, Cavis and Millword are shocked to learn a children's Christmas pageant may literally steal the show. 

Desperate to save their stage show, they "borrow" the children's main attraction - the star of Christmas.

After burning down the theater, destroying the star of Christmas, and landing in jail, Cavis and Millword learn what it really means to love. Moyer the Destroyer, a family favorite, makes an appearance in this sweet Christmas tale.

04 The Toy That Saved Christmas

04 The Toy That Saved Christmas

In an attempt to make the most sales this year, Mr. Nezzer and Mr. Lunt twist the true meaning of Christmas to be all about getting the most presents.

Buzz Saw Louies with a new message each time you push his nose about the importance of getting the most toys complete with a real buzz saw are marketed as the only thing that will satisfy children this year. 

But one of the Buzz Saw Louies is about to make a difference. He escapes from the factory with a mission to discover what the real meaning of Christmas is. Along the way he meets Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato and together they discover the truth. 

But Mr. Nezzer and Mr. Lunt are not about to let their scheme be foibled. Now Larry, Bob and Louie discover that they must bring the true meaning of Christmas even to these villains.

This spin-off of How the Grinch Stole Christmas takes the message one step further by not only illustrating that Christmas is about giving not getting but more importantly it is about the greatest gift ever given, the gift of the Christ Child our Savior. 

05 The Little Drummer Boy

05 The Little Drummer Boy

Containing one of the best Silly Songs with Larry, "Could That Be Santa", this VeggieTales show is a family favorite. 

With a spooky feel, this cute rendition of The Little Drummer Boy entertains children and children at heart. Overall this is a cute story that shows that the Christ Child brings great peace and that He loves us and preforms miracles to both show His love and prove He is God.

The original claymation Drummer Boy is not a favorite of ours but we love the story told the VeggieTale way. Plus, one of my favorite things about this film is seeing Bob the Tomato, Larry the Cucumber and Archibald as the three kings. 

06 An Easter Carol

06 An Easter Carol

Join the well known veggie characters in this good Easter movie parody of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Ebenezer Nezzer's grandmother tried to teach him the true meaning of Easter, but it never really sank in. 

After her death, Ebenezer does all he can to distract people from going to church on Easter so that they are free to come buy his Easter eggs.

Ebenezer's grandma then appears to him in a vision ("with a point") to warn him that his life is not as it should be. She promises to send him a visitor who will show him the true meaning of Easter.

Why a Film Is the Perfect Way to End

Why a Film Is the Perfect Way to End

By the time the movie is over, kids are relaxed, happy, and still surrounded by the characters they love.

And you?

You pulled off a party that didn’t just look good—it felt good.

That’s what they’ll remember.
