Fozzie takes the whole Muppet gang to his mum's farmhouse for Christmas, completely forgetting to ask her first. She'd just rented the place out and was off to Malibu, so the surprise visit is a bit of a muddle. Then the Sesame Street crowd arrive, Kermit is worried about Miss Piggy stuck in the snow, and the Fraggles pop up from under the cellar. It's the sort of wonderful chaos where Jim Henson's lot all share a Christmas table, with songs, snow and Statler and Waldorf heckling. If you've only got one Muppet special in the cupboard, make it this one.
