In this Christmas special featuring the Muppets, Fozzie Bear surprises his mother on Christmas Eve by bringing the entire Muppet gang to her farm to celebrate the holidays. Doc and his dog, Sprocket, who had planned a quiet Christmas, end up joining the Muppets in many holiday activities and preparations. The Sesame Street regulars, including Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, and others, join the festivities, but to Kermit the Frog's dismay, the only one missing is Miss Piggy, who has been caught in a snowstorm. Jim Henson makes a cameo appearance at the conclusion of the program.
