 A Muppet Family Christmas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Muppet Family Christmas is a 1987 Christmas television special starring Jim Henson's Muppets.
This film also features the second on-screen appearance of Jim Henson in a Muppet feature (cameoing in the background in The Great Muppet Caper, documentaries and retrospectives notwithstanding); he can be seen in the kitchen doing dishes towards the end of the movie.
The Muppets sing "Home for the Holidays," after Miss Piggy's grand belated arrival, then later "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" during the final medley.

Gone is the scene in which the snowman being built by Fozzie Bear comes to life, and their duet of “Sleigh Ride” (with its popping penguins), which ends with Fozzie deciding that he and the snowman should become a comic team.
Gone is the music and jokes when the Muppets watch the home-movie of the Muppet Babies, and gone is the climax of the missing Piggy’s arrival at the house, with her hilarious rendition of “Home for the Holidays,” which brings the running “watch out for the icy patch” gag to its conclusion.
And this turns into quite a family Christmas, as Muppet from all of the other Muppet venues arrive in turn, including Big Bird and the rest of the cast from Sesame Street, and even the Fraggles of Fraggle Rock fame, who show Kermit and his little nephew how they celebrate the holidays.

He recalls his early school days, during which he focused on his studies; the meeting of a young girl named Belle (Meredith Braun), with whom he would later fall in love; and the final parting between Belle and Scrooge, despite Scrooge's protests that he would marry her as soon as he had enough money.
This is the first of the Muppets movies in which the focus of the story revolves around characters played by human beings.
It was at one time considered that well-known Muppets would be cast in these roles (Piggy, Scooter, and Gonzo, specifically) before it was decided that it would detract from the ominous effect the spirits would need to convey.

 Kevin M. Cherry on It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie on National Review Online
Henson, who created the Muppets and was the driving force behind all their performances, died in 1990.
In The Muppet Movie, Kermit sang about "The Rainbow Connection," with undying optimism: "Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection/The lovers, the dreamers, and me." Some of us might accuse the frog of immanentizing the eschaton, but the sentiment was sweet and reassuring to children.
There are enough artifacts of the true Muppet holiday spirit — Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and A Muppet Family Christmas, as well as Christmas Carol — that there's no need to watch this year's offering.

 TechnoFILE Reviews "A Muppet Family Christmas" on DVD
From the original TV show, to the Saturday morning cartoon Muppet Babies; through all their movies and even their failed 90's TV show, I've loved the Muppets.

A Muppet Family Christmas was clearly made to capitalize on the Muppet phenomenon.

Plot Synopsis: When Fozzie and the Muppet Show gang drop in unexpectedly on Fozzie's mother, she is forced to cancel her winter vacation plans and entertain them all.
Muppet Family Christmas is something that my family always watches.
Fozzie's duet with the Snowman is cut out, the Muppet Babies home video is cut out (leaving Doc with a very strange line that doesn't make sense) and in my opinion the best part, where Miss Piggy enters and sings her song and slips on the Icey Patch is edited out.
