My Top Ten Muppet Christmas Songs

My Top 10 Christmas Songs Performed By The Muppets (With Occasional Human Accompaniment)

There have been a large number of Muppet Christmas specials produced over the years, most of which included musical numbers performed by Muppets. I decided to look at which of these Muppet musical numbers are my favorites, and assembled this top ten list of Muppet Christmas Songs.

Let's see if you agree with my list of the top ten Muppet Christmas songs!

10) Delivering Christmas

Performed by The Muppets and Jesse L. Martin

I would actually enjoy going to the post office if the postal employees there would sing and dance for us like this. Yet that part was more believable to me than Jesse L. Martin's character asking the Muppets if they want to help handle other people's mail at the post office.

This is from "A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa".

The song in this clip actually starts at 2:20.

9) One More Sleep Till Christmas

Performed By Kermit the Frog

This Muppet Christmas song is from "A Muppet Christmas Carol". The actual song starts at about 1:55 into this clip.

"I Believe" was debuted at the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in 2008 and written specifically for the event -- Macy's ad campaign that year was themed "believe". An official music video was released following the event.

7) Thankful Heart

Performed By Michael Caine And The Muppets

6) The 12 Days Of Christmas

Performed By John Denver and the Muppets

This performance was from the first of two Muppet Christmas specials featuring John Denver, "John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together".

5) Christmas Medley

Performed By The Muppets

This is the medley that wraps up "A Muppet Family Christmas". You may think picking a medley is a cop out, but if you do, you clearly have not had the chance to truly appreciate the awesomeness of all the Muppets in one room singing Christmas songs together.

1) We Need A Little Christmas

Performed By The Muppets

I don't care that this was a cover song because it is .no big secret how I feel about cover songs. The Muppets rendition of this song from the musical "Mame" makes me want to sing really loudly while driving, the same way Fozzie Bear is in the opening of "A Muppet Family Christmas".
