Kermit, 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!

I don't care if the turkey says

the dog is a turkey.

The dog is not a turkey.

The turkey's the turkey, you turkey!

Come on, Sprocket!

This is starting to be fun.

Whoa, speaking of fun--

Hey, mama, how you doin'?

Look what I have!

It's home movies!

I found this old film

in the closet.

It's the very first Christmas

the Muppets ever spent together.

Great. I haven't seen that film

in years.

Turn off the lights

and roll the film!

Yep, some things never change.

Oh, that was fun.

Even weirdos are cute

when they're babies.

- I knew you'd learn to love us.

- I didn't say that.

What's that?

I tell you, Chicken Little,

you're my kind of poultry.

Camilla, what's going on here?

You got some drumsticks there,

my fine-feathered mama.

But Camilla's my girlfriend.

You gotta be kidding.

You're not even a bird.

Nobody's perfect.

Come on, Henny Penny, let's me and you

got out to the farmyard...

for a little friendly

scratching and squawking.

All right, cut!

That does it. Let me at him.

- I'm gonna rip off his waddle.

- You and what other nerds?

- Put up your wings, turkey toes.

- You're pulling my leg, hose nose.

I'll be pulling your wishbone,

cranberry breath.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Hark! What do I hear?

You hear me about to make

some turkey hash.

No, listen.

Methinks me hears carolers.

Here we come a-caroling

among the leaves so green

Here we come a-wandering

so fair to be seen

Love and joy come to you

And to you glad tidings too

And God bless you and send you

a happy new year

And God send you

a happy new year

It's the Sesame Street gang!

- Merry Christmas from Sesame Street!

- Merry Christmas!

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

'Tis the season to be jolly

Don we now our gay apparel

Troll the ancient yuletide carol

Okay, Ernie, you're next.

See the blazing yule before us

Strike the harp

and join the chorus

I will not sing this song.

While I count

the yuletide treasure

Your turn, Hairy Monster.

That's the way

the old year passes

Build anew

ye lads and lasses

Sing ye joyous all together

Deck the halls with boughs of holly

'Tis the season to be jolly

That was fun!

I love carols!

It's nice to have everyone here.

You can feel the peace

of the holiday season.

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. We're Ernie and Bert.
