Synopsis:
This is a very light edit of one of my favourite Christmas films. I’m a big Muppets fan and I tend to watch this nearly every year (as well as reading the Dickens novella). However, watching it on a yearly basis, the same things always bothered me: The odd cliché line, overly kiddish element, and more than anything, "The Penguin's Christmas Skating Party"; a corny scene that dragged and generally felt like it was only there for the sake of placing penguins in a Christmas movie. Outtakes were also added to the end credits (just for fun).

Intentions:
To improve some of the comic timing and reduce cliche elements, but generally keep the bulk of the movie intact.
