'Twas the night before Christmas and the Muppet Theatre is in danger of being torn down, but with hilarious send-ups of just about every holiday movie ever made, the Muppets discover that what matters most is their love for each other. /// Kermit is shown what life would be like for the rest of the Muppets without him, in this spoof of It's a Wonderful Life.
