Kermit the Frog is your host for one of the most beloved family holiday specials ever created. In the small river community of Frogtown Hollow, Emmet and Ma Otter perform in a Christmas Eve talent show where the prize is a much-needed $50. The Otters’ biggest competition: The Riverbottom Nightmare Band! Beautifully designed and magically realized, this enduring classic features a number of great Paul Williams songs like Barbecue and When the River Meets the Sea. Followed by Muppet Music Moments (75 min., Digital Projection). Music was always an integral part of The Muppet Show, and this collection assembles some classic musical numbers interpreted as only the Muppets can. Performances from a wide range of musical genres include guest stars Paul Simon, Elton John, Deborah Harry, Linda Ronstadt, Harry Belafonte, and more.
