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. Go to Full Review

Simon N Dec 10 My favorite Christmas movie. A perfect Muppets Christmas special. This movie is so wholesome, funny, and the music is fantastic! Bringing the Muppets, The Fraggles, The Muppet Babbies and the Sesame Street Gang all together in one movie is an incredible feat, done so well!

See more D3Z 1 Dec 25 The combination of Jim Henson's works from the likes of the Muppets, Sesame Street and Fraggle Rock and a heartful concept is certainly something for everyone to enjoy over the festive period. See more Jesse C 01/03/2024 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 See more 02/19/2022 Super fun flashback. Love seeing all three of these Muppet worlds come together. See more 12/16/2020 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.
