History Heartwarming / AMuppetFamilyChristmas

** Well, if the Muppets know about Fraggles, there's no reason why the Sesame Street gang wouldn't know about the same stories. For all we know Kermit told Grover himself on a previous visit (maybe even during ''Christmas Eve on Sesame Street'' when he asked Grover to ask kids how Santa gets in).

** And Boober. At first, he believes that "frogs are probably noted-germ carriers." Not long after, he seems to have forgotten about his fear of germs, and he gives the pebble to Robin.

** And the pebble.

* Doc appearing as Santa Claus himself and passing out presents to the Muppets.

* “Together at Christmas”.

** Similarly, Fozzie's mother is surprisingly okay with having to cancel her vacation in Hawaii at the last minute to accommodate her son and his friends, with the only complaint she gives being that her surfing lessons were wasted (and even that she voices in a more snarky than complaining tone). This implies that, though she planned to spend Christmas on her own on a tropical vacation, she's just as content with spending it at home with family and friends.

* Emily Bear's conclusion that the Muppets may be "weirdos, but they're nice weirdos."

* Doc offering to look for Miss Piggy when she's lost in the snowstorm, and explaining why;

* The reason why StatlerAndWaldorf randomly pop up in the farmhouse? They're friends with Fozzie's mom and they visit her every Christmas!

* While the Christmas carol singing sequence is heartwarming in itself, hearing StatlerAndWaldorf (of all people!) singing one of the carols is just adorable. (This is sadly lessened since this portion is cut out of some editions of the special.)

* During the carol sing Statler and Waldorf sing "I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day," a song about how being cynical on Christmas is easy, but being optimistic will make you happy and give you peace. Granted, it's really a bonus for the parents who know the rest of the song, but it's a heartwarming bonus. Even Statler and Waldorf can see the point in having Christmas spirit.

** Almost counts as a bit of a tearjerker, since this was one of the last things Jim ever did with these characters. It's almost like a dad looking in on his kids one last time.

-->'''Doc:''' Well, we've never met ''any'' of you until a little while ago, and now we're friends. See, Sprocky and I were gonna spend Christmas alone, but this is better!

** This troper wasn't that informed of the Muppetverse, so when this strange bearded man appeared, it was rather sinister.

--->''Well, they certainly seem to be having a good time out there, Sprocket. Yep, I like it when they have a good time.''
