“A thing of wonder, one of the all-time great Christmas specials” – eFilmCritic

When a Christmas Eve talent contest is announced, Emmet Otter joins a jug band and his Ma decides to sing a song. But Emmet will have to put a hole in Ma’s washtub to make a bass! And Ma will have to hawk Emmet’s tool chest to buy herself a costume! Should Emmet and Ma risk all they have to make each other’s dreams come true? Directed by Jim Henson, featuring songs by “Rainbow Connection” composer Paul Williams, and featuring a special appearance by Kermit the Frog, Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas is a lovable country cousin of the Muppets. Featuring elaborate wintertime sets and some of Henson’s most complex puppeteering, this beloved very ’70s special—based on the book by Russell and Lillian Hoban, itself inspired by O. Henry’s “Gift of the Magi”—is warm and cozy, like a sip of hot cocoa on a chilly winter afternoon.

But that’s not all…we’ve also got another whole Bonus Muppets Christmas Special for you as well, featuring all your favorite Muppets (and a few of their famous friends!).

And that’s still not all!! Come out early for a John Denver and the Muppets pre-show beginning at 2:30 pm.
