AV Club Staff AV Club Credit the zippy, vignette-based plotting and the authentic family-reunion atmosphere, the obvious byproduct of gathering so many Muppet performers together for a single project.

Jesse C its classic, funny and heartwarming. I like how it depics christmas in more of a realistic family and friends way. I don't have anything bad to say about this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Audience Member Super fun flashback. Love seeing all three of these Muppet worlds come together. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/22 Full Review Audience Member I’m an avid fan of the Muppets, so there isn’t much Muppet content that I have missed over the years. A Muppet Family Christmas was a TV special that I distinctly remember watching as a kid and back then I found it truly magical. It was an amazing amalgamation of all Jim Henson’s work up to that point, as we get to see the Muppets, Sesame Street, the Fraggles, and even the Muppet Babies gather together to celebrate the holidays. There isn’t a ton of story in this special, and any point of conflict doesn’t last for more than a few minutes. But there are a good number of Christmas songs throughout, and a handful of funny moments between all these beloved characters. That being said, it’s clear that this special is targeted specifically at kids and there is little to entertain the adults in the audience. I’m convinced that, if I were not a fan of the characters, I would be underwhelmed by the whole special. But because I find them so charming, I enjoyed A Muppet Family Christmas. It’s not a classic that I’ll watch every year, and the Muppets themselves have better holiday entertainment to offer. But it has enough to make me smile and to warm my heart this December. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/20 Full Review Audience Member Absolutely the best holiday special of all time. Cut or uncut, it's great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Classic Christmas special. A must see every year - Muppets, Fraggles, and Sesame Street all in one place. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Where else are you going to find all of Jim Henson's classic characters all in one room singing timeless Christmas songs?
