Wissenswertes
Jim Henson: in the kitchen just before the credits.

Patzer
When Fozzie introduces Kermit to his mother, he says that Kermit is his boss who gave him his big break. Since they are all together in the Christmas home movie when they are babies, they knew each other much earlier but Fozzie means Kermit gave him his break into show business.

Zitate
Ernie: Oh, hi there. Hey, we're Ernie and Bert.
Doc: Hi there yourself, I'm Doc.
Bert: Did you know that Doc starts with the letter "D"?
Doc: Why, yes.
Ernie: Yes! Yes starts with the letter "Y".
Doc: True.
Ernie: And true starts with the letter "T".
Doc: [chuckles] Hey, what is this?
Bert: Where we come from, this is small talk.
Doc: Well, whatever you day, nice to be meeting you, but I'd better go up and build some bunk beds.
Ernie, Bert: Bunk beds!
Ernie: B words.
[he and Bert laugh]

Alternative Versionen
In the latest video release, the following scenes were deleted:
A very funny joke scene between Fozzie and his snowman.
Rowlf playing the piano when he first arrives at the farmhouse.
Piggy singing "Home for the Holidays" when she's first brought to the farmhouse and slipping on the icy patch.
Statler and Waldorf's "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day".
When the Muppets watch the film strip of themselves as the Muppet Babies, the cute scenes of them singing and the adults complimenting on it were cut and it goes right to Animal bursting through the screen.
Mrs. Bear putting up Fozzie's stocking, Fozzie says he's too old for that stuff, but changes his mind and doesn't want her to take it down.
During the medley at the end, Kermit and Piggy sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

8/10

a very enjoyable holiday special

Having seen this for the first time as a child, and subsequently grown up watching it several more times, A Muppet Family Christmas has become my favorite Christmas TV special.

There is a lot of charm and joy to be found in this 40-odd minute show. Muppet fans will truly appreciate this, if for no other reason than the mass gathering of literally every single Muppet Show, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock character, and a cameo appearance by the late Jim Henson himself, surveying his creations as they celebrate the season. Even for those who aren't Muppet fans but suffer from Christmas fever, this should prove enjoyable, with many heart-warming sequences and several Christmas songs performed.

A Muppet Family Christmas contains it's share of the usual Muppet moments of charm and wit, but it succeeds most by simply being a feel-good holiday special. It is the perfect show for the season.
