The Muppets perform the classic Dickens holiday tale, with Kermit the Frog playing Bob Cratchit, the put-upon clerk of stingy Ebenezer Scrooge (Michael Caine). Other Muppets, like Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and Fozzie Bear, weave in and out of the story, while Scrooge receives visits from spirits from Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future. They show him the error of his self-serving ways with the hope that the miserable old man will embrace the season of the heart and, in that particular time of caring, make his love last all year.
