A Muppet Family Christmas
♫ Haul out the holly ♫
♫ we're headed home so we can ♫
♫ start to celebrate. ♫
♫ Fill up the stockings ♫
♫ we may be rushing things but ♫
♫ we can hardly wait now. ♫
♫ For we need a little Christmas ♫
♫ right this very minute ♫
♫ candles in the window ♫
♫ carols at the spinet. ♫
♫ Yes, we need a little Christmas ♫
♫ right this very minute. ♫
♫ It hasn't snowed a single flurry ♫
♫ Fozzie, we're all in a hurry. ♫
Guys, this is the best idea we've had in years.
Christmas at my mother's farm.
Sounds great Fozzie, but don't you think we should have called your mother.
To let her know we were coming?
Oh, how little you understand bears Kermit.
My mother loves surprises!
- Good thing.
She's in for a beauty.
- Surprise, surprise!
You see, I know what she is doing this very second.
There she is in the old farmhouse on the snowy hill, nice and cozy by a roaring fire.
Oh, the Christmas decorations will be up...
And ma will be in her rocking chair, knitting...
And feeling just a little sad, that she's all alone for the holidays.
Well, the plane leaves for California in three hours.
Ho-ho, Christmas in Malibu!
Ah, I'm going to lie on the beach and catch some rays.
Wocka, wocka!
Oh, this is going to be such a surprise!
♫ Haul out the holly ♫
♫ turn on the brightest string of ♫
♫ lights we've ever seen. ♫
♫ Slice up the fruitcake ♫
♫ it's time we hung some tinsel ♫
♫ on that evergreen bough. ♫
♫ For we need a little music ♫
♫ need a little laughter. ♫
♫ Need a little singing ♫
♫ ringing through the rafter ♫
♫ and we need a little ♫
♫ slappy happy ever after. ♫
♫ We need... a... little ♫
♫ Christmas ♫
♫ now. ♫
Well, I think I have everything.
Yes, the airline ticket, my suntan lotion, the...
Come in!
Hello!
Is this Grizzly Farm?
Oh, you must be the renter.
Come in, come in!
Yes, yes, I'm doc.
Are you my landlady?
No, Sprocket, I didn't know I was renting from a bear.
Oh, mind your step!
Be careful.
There's an icy patch there.
Oof!
I'm so glad there's someone going to be staying in the house while I'm gone.
Yes, well, Sprocket and I...
He's my dog, Sprocket.
We're certainly delighted to be renting the place.
We've been wanting to spend a nice, quiet Christmas in the country.
You've come to the right place.
Put your things in the bedroom
- at the top of the stairs.
- Thank you.
Now who could that be?
Ta-da!
Merry Christmas!
- Son!
- Mom!
Ahh!
- Oh, it's so good to see you.
- Well, what the... a surprise!
No, no, the real surprise is...
- I brought all my friends with me!
- What?
Come on, everybody!
Merry Christmas!
Be careful of the icy patch.
Yeah, that's terrific!
Yeah.
Come on!
- Hey, aren't you glad to see us all?
- Whoa!
- Well, I should say.
- Excuse me, Mrs.
Bear.
Remember me?
I rented this place to have a nice, quiet Christmas.
Peace on earth!
Give me present.
- Arf arf arf.
- Argh!
Be careful, Sprocket.
These could be from some foreign planet.
Actually, they're from television.
I recognized Fozzie's weirdo friends.
Yeah.
We're proud of it too.
Heh-heh-heh!
Why am I here?
Tell me, Sprocket are these anything like these Fraggles...
You keep telling me about?
Come on, come on!
Mom, I want you to meet someone.
This is my boss, my friend,
- my inspiration, - aw!
The one who gave me my big break in the show business, Kermit.
Oh, yeah, the lizard.
Uh, well, frog actually.
Listen, Mrs.
Bear, I know there are an awful lot of us here, so I just...
Don't you worry about it.
- There's plenty of room for everybody.
- Excuse me.
You promised me a nice, quiet Christmas.
You think you're disappointed.
I just took three months of surfing lessons for zip!
Telephone!
- Telephone!
- Uh, that's just animal.
- Hello, hello, hello!
Give me present!
- Joyeux Noel, Kermie.
Oh, pig.
Uh...
Hello?
Uh, piggy?
Kermie, my dear Cher, it's you!
Yes, piggy, it's me.
Hey, listen, where are you?
You were supposed to come to the farmhouse with us.
I know, Kermie, but I forgot about a teensy-weensy photo session I just scheduled.
Now give me more over the shoulder, honey.
Hold it.
- W-well, hurry up.
- Do not worry so, my little green hunk.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Couldn't be nicer.
Thank you.
My chauffeur Jerome is ready to whisk me away...
Into your arms at the farmhouse.
Ha-ha!
Oh, beautiful!
Beautiful!
I must go now.
I'm rather busy.
See you soon!
- Hmmph!
Okay, bye.
- Kissy-kissy!
Bye-bye!
- Oh!
Oh, now do that pouty thing!
- Oh, yes.
Do that pouty thing!
Oooh!
Oh, fabulous!
You'll find more bedrooms up the stairs.
Those are our bedrooms!
We rented this place.
Not more!
Fozzie, get that door!
Okay, mom!
Up the stairs.
Up the stairs.
- Swedish chef!
- Fleula yule!
Whoa!
Watch out for that icy patch there.
Ja.
Genghis fur her der gobbla-gobbla-gobbla torkey.
You mean, you're here to cook the Christmas Turkey for us.
Ja, ja!
Let's go to the kitchen.

Now, where did my little chickiepoo Camilla get to?
I'll get it!
Ha-ha!
Yes?
Hi there!
Oh!
Y-you're a Turkey!
Of course.
Come on outside.
We got to talk.
Chicken in da cooking.
Sure, there are rats and chickens here.
We always have rats and chickens.
You're in the wrong place at the wrong time now.
Take a walk, fly south for the winter.
Anything!
I was invited for Christmas by some guy who spoke Swedish.
Oh, brother.
Had a white chef's hat on.
Sounds like a nice vacation.
Mm-hmm.
Listen, that guy is a chef.
Don't you realize...
It could be very dangerous for turkeys around here?
Not to worry.
I'm a survivor.
Now, where's my room?
If you're not careful, it'll be in the oven.
So long, Bucko.
Heh-heh!
See you at dinner!
What seems to be the trouble, Fozzie?
Well, you see, Kermit, the chef is a little bit angry...
Because of all the rats and chickens in his kitchen.
How about we send them to his bedroom instead?
Oh, ja, chicken en da rat in the bunksa-bunksa.
All right, let's go.
Come on, head 'em out!
Okay.
- Up to the bedroom.
Up to the bedroom.
- Yes, here we go, guys.
Whew, another crisis solved.
Boy, there sure are a lot of us here.
Well, the whole family's starting to come together.
We always come together at Christmas.
Yeah.
Life would just pass in a blur if it weren't for times like this.
Hmm?

Thanks.
- Yo, Fozzie!
I finally made it.
- Hey, Rowlf, welcome.
You're late.
I've been chasing a truck all the way, and boy, am I exhausted.
- I get it.
Truck, exhaust.
That's funny.
- Yeah, that's a dog joke.
- Go inside and tell mom that.
- Gotcha.
She loves canine humor.
Okay, boys, put it over there in the corner.
- Come on, doc, let's get this holly up here.
- Oh, Mrs.
Bear!
I've been chasing a truck, and boy...
whoa!
Oh, my!
I guess Fozzie didn't tell you about the icy patch.
Yeah, I guess he didn't.
Anyhow, my name's Rowlf the dog.
- I've come for the holidays.
- More?
More people?
I'll go out and see if there's a spare pillow in the kennel.
Arf arf.
Woof, woof!
Yeah, bark bark.
Don't you just hate it when you can't speak the language?
A-ha, just what I was looking for.
Look at this little beauty.

Ooh, green fuzzy flipper slippers!
Oh, divine!

Ah, ha-ha!
Kermit, n-now can I tell you about my new act?
I'm all ears.
Now, what can that be?
What does he mean he's all ears?
Frogs don't even have ears.
This is my dog Sprocket.
He is not a Christmas Turkey!
Dis make a gobbla-gobbla faire furnousse.
I don't care if the Turkey says the dog is a Turkey.
The dog is not the Turkey.
The Turkey's the Turkey, you Turkey!
Come on, Sprocket.

Heh-heh-heh-heh!
This is starting to be fun.
Whoa!
Speaking of fun, hey, mama, how ya doin'?
Hey, Kermit, look what I have!
It's home movies!
I found this old film in the closet.
It's the very first Christmas the Muppet's ever spent together.
Great!
I haven't seen that film in years.
Turn off the lights and roll the film!

Wow!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Watch out.
Well, doc, you know what this means.
Sprocket and I will have to give up our hammock in the attic, right?
Either that or build bunk-beds in the broom closet.
Sprocket, go get me a hammer, will you?
- Hi there.
Hey, we're Ernie and Bert.
- Yeah.
Well, hi there yourself.
I'm doc.
Did you know that "doc" starts with the letter "D"?
Why, yes.
- Yes.
"Yes" starts with the letter "Y." - Yeah.
- True.
- And "true" starts with the letter "T." What is this?
Where we come from, this is small talk.
Whatever you say.
It's nice to meet you, but I've got to go and build some bunk-beds.
Bunk-beds!
"B" words.
Hey, hey, hey, no, you got me wrong.
I-i-I'm a dairy cow.

Here I am, the Christmas Turkey.

Oy, York!
Nushna gobbla-gobbla humonga!
Ain't it the truth.
Heh-heh-heh-heh!
Mmm!
Hey, everyone, quiet down.
There's a bulletin on TV.
≡⌁ and now for this news flash. ⌁≡
≡⌁ the worst blizzard in years is approaching us at a great rate. ⌁≡
≡⌁ the weather service reports that barometers are falling sharply. ⌁≡
≡⌁ oh, no! Aah! ⌁≡
he's right!
Look at the snow.
One snowflake, two snowflake, three snowflake...
But miss piggy's out there in that storm.
Five, six...
All right, the huge canary sleeps in the attic with the cookie eater.
Check.
The blue monster said he'd sleep in the bathtub.
- Check.
- And, uh, Ernie and Bert will bunk out with the lizard here.
Uh, frog.
Kermit the frog.
What about Oscar?
I'll be nicely miserable in my trash can here.
Hey, maybe I could bunk out here with you.
I never had a rat in my trash can before.
That might be nice.
Hey, everybody, look what I've got...
Christmas cookies!
Cookie!
Oh, thank you.
Who was that strange blue creature?
That my kind of fella.
Hey, everybody, it's time to rehearse for our sesame street pageant.
It's called 'twas the night before Christmas.
- Come on out, Bert.
- I won't.
- Come on, Bert.
- Ernie, please don't make me.
Oh Bert, listen, everybody's waiting.
Ernie, why must you always humiliate me?
Come on, somebody has to play mama.
And you lost the toss.
- All right, well, just get it over with!
- Okay.
'Twas the night before Christmas by clement Moore.
Hit it, Rowlf.
"'Twas the night before Christmas..."
"And all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse."
Cue the mouse.
I'm here!
I'm here!
Cute little Grover mouse is here.
What's the bowl for?
Oh, uh, so you can see that I am not stirring.
Note how the hand never touches the spoon.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, public.
Thank you.
This is great.
Oh, aren't they adorable?
Hey, don't encourage them.
"Mama in her kerchief... " That's you, Bert.
I know, I know.
"And I in my cap had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.
"When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter."
Open the curtain!
Monsters as reindeer?
This is crazy!
Wh-where's Santa Claus?
Don't worry, Bert, we're getting to him.
"With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick."
Hello!
Is nothing sacred?
Now wait a minute.
Who let the two-headed monster be Santa Claus?
But he said he'd never been in a play before.
I mean, they said it.
Both of them said it.
Just go to the big finish.
Will you, please.
"But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight, mewwy chwi-mah to aww and to aww a good nigh!"
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
Close the curtain!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Sorry to break up your fun in here, but have you folks seen the weather?
- There's a real storm out there.
- Oh, lordy, I haven't seen a sky like that since the blizzard of ' .
I tell you, Mr.
Lizard, it's a good thing all your friends are safe and warm inside the farmhouse.
Yeah, but... all my friends are not safe and warm.
Sorry to hear that it's...
Cold enough out there to freeze your Winnebago.
- Hello?
- Hello, Kermie.
I've finished my shopping.
Unfortunately, Jerome got the limo stuck in the snowbank.
So, I'll just have to catch a taxi to the farmhouse.
Listen, piggy, there's a terrible storm outside...
And I really think it's too dangerous to travel.
So why don't you wait for the storm to end before you join us?
Nonsense.
And miss my Christmas Eve with vous?
It's just a little bit of snow.
See you soon!
Bye-bye.
Yo, taxi!
Aah!
My...
oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Aaah!
I'm sure miss piggy will be all right.
Kermit?
Kermit, y-y-you look worried.
I know exactly what you need.
- Comedy.
- What?
Yeah, come on.
Now's the time for you to meet my new partner!
Who's your new partner?
- A snowman.
- The heck you say.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on outside and we'll do our act for you.
Outside?
It's too cold to go outside.
- It's not cold.
- It is cold!
It's not cold.
Can I come in and warm up?
Okay, so it's cold.
I'm Kermit the frog.
You must be Fozzie's new partner.
I'll say.
We're terrific.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on!
You are coming in a snowman, but you are going out a star.
Hey, everybody, would you like to see our new act?
We'd love to see your act.
In fact, we'd hate to miss your act.
In fact, we'd love to hate your act.
Statler, Waldorf, where'd you guys come from?
They're friends of mine, Fozzie.
They come visit me every Christmas.
M-my own mother is friends with you guys?
These two comics are made for each other.
The snowman is ice cold, and the bear's not so hot.
Oh, please.
After all, there's no business like snow business.
Come on, ignore them.
Snowman, do the straight line.
- Okay.
Hey, Fozzie!
- Yes, Mr.
Snowman?
Did you hear about the church that b*rned down?
Holy smoke!
That was our best joke.
That does it, Fozzie.
Forget the act.
I'm startin' to melt.
It's too hot in here.
Well, you know what they say.
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the farmhouse.
Oh, come on.
You'll be okay on the back porch.
Boy, that storm is really getting worse.
Yeah, I hope miss piggy is okay.
There is one worried frog.
Aha!
That's one.
One worried frog.
He's not the only one.
That's two.
Two worried frogs.
Search me.
More small talk, I think.
Hey, I'd better go out and get some firewood.
Corka doon.
Hi there.
Did you wish to talk to me about something, Mr. Cook, sir?
Oh, ja, ja, ja.
- Ungus sher doo.
- Gee, nice kitchen.
Hey, are you gonna have cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes?
Ja, ensperging Bern.
- Oh, boy.
- Yengis Bern da goobla-goobla.
I just want to hear about the whole meal.
Oh, yerngus sperg...
But first, I want to give this little present to you.
Ebit her?
It's chocolate-covered birdseed.
I made it myself.
Engus sperg da merga mor?
I wanted to give it to you because, well, I know that you're from Sweden and it must be hard for you because you're away from your family and loved ones during the holidays.
Ja.
At Christmas, there are places and people and things that become very, very special.

- Ja.
My absolute favorite.
Ja.
Ooh, going to be lots of snow for me to shovel tomorrow.
Uh, it's getting worse and worse out there.
Aren't you glad you're in here all warm and toasty?
I just wish miss piggy were.
Okay, when I yell "three," g*n it!
One, two, three!
You're really worried about your friend, aren't you, Kermit?
Hmm?
Oh, well, uh, yeah, yeah, a little.
I'll tell you what.
I'll go out looking for her.
Really?
But you've never even met miss piggy.
We never met any of you until a little while ago.
And now we're friends.
See, Sprockey and I were gonna spend Christmas alone, but this is better!
Now, what's your friend look like?
Well, uh, to begin with, she's a pig.
Well, up to a short while ago, I would have thought that strange.
I'll give it a try.
Gee, thanks, doc.
You'll be sorry.
It's cold enough to freeze your Winnebago.
What a sweet guy.
Uncle Kermit?
Robin?
Where are you?
In the cellar.
What are you doing down there?
I made a discovery.
Oh, yeah?
What are you talking about?
Remember telling me about Fraggle holes?
Uh, yeah.
So?
And how if I ever found one, we could go into.
Fraggle rock and maybe meet some Fraggles?
Uh, so?
Is that one?
Ooh, look at that.
Well, it certainly looks like one.
You never know where you're going to find these things.
Can we go in, uncle Kermit?
Well, maybe just a little ways, see if we can meet anyone.
Watch your step, Robin.
Gee, it's kind of scary.
These are beautiful caves.
Oooh!
- Hey, uncle Kermit, wait up.
- Hmm?
Okay.
Do you think this is really Fraggle rock?
Well I don't know but if I were a Fraggle, I think this is the kind of place I'd hang out.
Wait a second.
I thought I heard something.
Guess not.
Well, anyhow.
Oh, uh, uh, well, uh, hi, there.
- Hi, yourself.
- Hi.
- You're Fraggles.
- I'll say.
- But you're not.
- I'll say.
No, I'm Kermit.
This is Robin.
We're frogs.
Oh.
What's a frog?
- They're frogs.
- I'll say.
Don't touch 'em.
Frogs are probably noted germ carriers.
Well, actually, we just came down here to wish you all a merry Christmas.
- Oh, thank you.
- That's nice.
- What's Christmas?
- Yeah.
- Oh, don't you have Christmas?
- No.
That's when you gather together with the people you love...
And you wish each other peace on earth.
Oh!
Oh, we have a time like that.
Yes, we do.
As a matter of fact, we're celebrating it right now.
We give each other presents.
I'm giving goober this nice yellow pebble.
And I gave Mokie that pebble last year.
And I gave it to red the year before that.
And I gave it to you, Wembley, the year before that.
That pebble's been a gift times.
- Thirty-seven times?
- Yeah.
- ♫ la-la-la la la ♫ - ♫ la la la ♫
- ♫ la-la-la-la la la ♫ - ♫ la la la ♫
♫ la-la-la la la ♫ ♫ la la la ♫
♫ la-la, pass it on.. ♫
♫ When it's nice and bright and it brings delight. ♫
♫ Let your heart choose right got to... Pass it on.. ♫
♫ When it feels real good like a feeling should. ♫
♫ When it's understood got to... Pass it on.. ♫
♫ When you're giving love away love will come again to stay. ♫
♫ What you give is what you gain when you... Pass it on.. ♫
♫ When I give a gift to you I know you're gonna give it too. ♫
♫ That's why giving's what we do as we... Pass it on.. ♫
♫ Pass it on. ♫ ♫ Pass it on. ♫
♫ Pass it on. ♫ pass it on. ♫
♫ Wish upon ♫ wish upon ♫
♫ all the good things that you do. ♫
♫ Pass it on. ♫ ♫ Pass it on. ♫
♫ Pass it on. ♫ ♫ pass it on. ♫
♫ When it's gone, ♫ when it's gone ♫
♫ it will bring good luck to you. ♫
♫ When you're giving love away love will come again to stay. ♫
♫ What you give is what you gain when you... Pass it on. ♫
♫ When I give a gift to you I know you're gonna give it too. ♫
♫ That's why giving's what we do as we... Pass it on. ♫
♫ Pass it on. ♫
And that's the way Fraggle presents work.
I love it!
Oh, goober, I almost forgot.
Huh?
I want you to have this pebble.
So, here.
Wow!
Oh!
Oh.
Ah.
Thank you, Mokie.
Hey, listen, Fraggles, this has all been great, but we got to be going.
Oh!
Oh, what a shame.
- I'll say.
- No, wait, wait, wait.
Robin, before you go, I'd like you to have this pebble.
Wow!
Gee.
Well, merry Christmas, Fraggles.
Merry Christmas, frogs.
Bye!
Bye!
- Bye!
- Bye!
Bye!
Bye!
Gosh, that was fun.
Yeah, well, it's nice to be with friends at Christmas.
Kermit, we hear shouting outside.
It could be miss piggy.
Oh, well, let's go.
Anyone see her out there?
Well, at least the storm has eased up a bit.
Chef, why don't you make some hot soup?
And, Mrs.
Bear, would you put some extra blankets on a bed?
- Wait a minute.
There she is!
- What?
Yeah, and she don't look bad...
For a pig.
Oh!
Merry Christmas, Kermie.
Am I late?
I-I-i don't know how to explain this, Kermit, but I was searching through the snow and suddenly...
There was miss piggy with this costume for me.
You don't have to explain, doc.
If there's one thing piggy knows, it's how to make an entrance.

I'd like to welcome you all here.
You are all here, aren't you?
I think so, yes.
Oh, good, because I'm afraid we're running out of room.
Two of you will have to sleep hung on hangers on a hook on the wall.
- What a fabulous idea!
- Love hanger.
Love hanger.
Ahh!
It's the only way animal ever sleeps, ma'am.
See, mom, I told you it'd be easy.
They're weirdos, Fozzie.

You know, miss piggy, I think it's time I gave you your present.
Oh, really?
Oh, tell me, what is it, what is it?
Well, your present is... a mink.
Ahh!
A mink!
- A mink.
- I've always wanted it.
Where is it?
Where is it?
Where is it?
Uh, Maurine.
Hi, I'm Maurine, the mink.
What?
She said, "hi, I'm Maurine, the mink." I heard her!
I heard her!
Mmm.
Well, this is, this is the mink?
My mink?
Of course.
Oh, miss piggy, I've seen everything you've done.
I'm your biggest fan.
I worship the ground you walk on.
- What a wonderful present!
- Yeah.
- Speaking of presents, Grover, - huh?
I'd like you to have this Fraggle pebble.
T-this Fraggle pebble here is for me?
Oh, I just love Christmas.
