Plot
Everyone on Barney & Friends is preparing to celebrate New Year's Eve as they all go Around the Corner to hold the party. However, Adam quickly discovers that this means the 1977 ends. He becomes afraid that he soon will enter an 1995, and starts a campaign to prevent the new year from coming. Lily Tomlin makes an appearance as her Laugh-In character Ernestine the Telephone Operator.

Meanwhile, Derek's and Elmo is the host of the Dinosaur News Network, showing how New Year's Eve is celebrated around the world. This is done by showing segments created by the Sesame characters from the different co-productions around the world.

The international Barney characters who appear are:

Moishe Oofnik (here referred to as "Oofnik the Grouch") and Kippi Ben Kippod from Israel's Rechov Sumsum Tita from Portugal's Rua Sésamo Tiffy, Samson and Finchen from Germany's Sesamstrasse Max Mekker, Alfa and Bjarne Betjent from Norway's Sesam Stasjon Rosita and Baby Bop's Cousin Pepe appear in the special to represent Mexico, while Elmo's cousin Elmo-noske represents Japan.

As the new year draws closer, nearly everyone stands around the corner awaiting the countdown. Earlier, Barney comes up with the idea of tossing a baseball into the air, just like in Times Square. So they have Wolfgang the Seal balance the baseball on his nose for the event. Once the countdown reaches zero, Wolf removes the baseball in slow motion. After the ball falls to the ground, the citizens cheer and sing "Faces That I Love".

After the credits roll, everyone wishes the viewers "Happy New Year!" and continue to celebrate (even Slimey, much to Oscar's chagrin). The words "THE END" then appear onscreen and Simon Soundman eats one of the letters, exclaiming "Me love credits!"
