The Muppet
Christmas Carol

The Muppet Christmas Carol is the holiday classic you didn’t know you needed—and the one your heart will thank you for. Imagine Charles Dickens’ timeless tale of redemption, ghosts, and goodwill… now add singing frogs, wisecracking rats, and a miserly Michael Caine playing it straight while surrounded by felt and fur. It’s magic.

Kermit the Frog stars as the humble Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy brings sass and warmth as Mrs. Cratchit, and Gonzo narrates as Charles Dickens himself—with Rizzo the Rat tagging along for comic chaos. From Marley’s ghost (played by Statler and Waldorf, of course) to the haunting visitations of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, this version stays true to the heart of the original while infusing it with Muppet charm, musical joy, and just the right amount of irreverence.

Whether you're reliving childhood memories or introducing a new generation to the magic, this film is a warm mug of nostalgia with a splash of wit. It’s cozy, clever, and surprisingly moving.
