*The 1999 Carols marks the following: | |||
**The only year where even though kids are present on stage, none of them are members of the Australian National Boys and Girls Choir. | |||
**The only year where there is a different set of choreographies used on all featured songs, though that of Santa Claus is Coming would be used in an unreleased promotional music video filmed that same year for the [[Santa Claus is Coming (1999 Single)|self-tittled single]]. | |||
**The only year where ''Rudoph the Red Nosed Reindeer'' is shortened from the standard version sung by Hi-5, omitting the last few ending stanzas due to its melody being combined with ''Rockin Around the Christmas Tree''. | |||
***Speaking of ''Rockin Around the Christmas Tree'', it is also the only time it is sung at Carols, and also predates it official studio recording on the [[It's A Hi-5 Christmas (Australian album)|''It's A Hi-5 Christmas'']] album in 2001. | |||
*The 2000 Carols marks: | |||
**The first year where ''Sleigh Ride'' and ''Twas the Night Before Christmas'' were sung at Carols, both predating their official studio recordings the following year in the ''It's A Hi-5 Christmas'' album. | |||
***Speaking of which, the latter mentioned song's performance that year was also the only time where it would be sung in its full length, as later live performances of the song would omit the second verse. | |||
***A similar but opposite situation also occurs in ''Sleigh Ride,'' where the repeat of the second verse is omitted, unlike later performances which would be performed in its full length. | |||
*In the 2001 Carols, Billie Dean and Andrew Einsprunch are credited as songwriters despite none of their songs being performed that year. | *In the 2001 Carols, Billie Dean and Andrew Einsprunch are credited as songwriters despite none of their songs being performed that year. | ||
**That same year also marked the only time in Hi-5's set were ''Jingle Bells'' were not sung for unknown reasons. | |||
*The fireplace set, which was introduced in 2004 continues to be used in Carols concerts to this day, using modifications to the stocking names wherever necessary. | *The fireplace set, which was introduced in 2004 continues to be used in Carols concerts to this day, using modifications to the stocking names wherever necessary. | ||
**Also in 2004, ''Jingle Bells'' was the only song performed during Hi-5’s set that was not credited with the other performed songs during the credits, most likely due to the fact that it is a traditional song. | **Also in 2004, ''Jingle Bells'' was the only song performed during Hi-5’s set that was not credited with the other performed songs during the credits, most likely due to the fact that it is a traditional song. | ||
