Muppet Newsstand: The Best Christmas Movies of All Time!

There's a new collectible magazines out titled "The Best Christmas Movies of All Time!" 


With a title like that, and this being a Muppet blog, you know there's going to be Muppets in it. There a whole section on each movie, so you know there's going to be one on Muppet Christmas Carol for sure right? Nope. Surely it can't be It's A very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, right? wrong again (phew). 

No, for some reason (and this may spark a whole debate) they chose A Muppet Family Christmas



Now, before you start with the angry emails, Muppet Family Christmas is, without a doubt, one of the greatest Muppet productions ever made. But is it a movie?? An amazing TV special, certainly, but it's not a movie. 
We don't list Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and The Year Without a Santa Claus as movies do we? What about Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas? Is that now a "movie"? What about Rocky Mountain Holiday With The Muppets? 

I'll give you 
t's A very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (heck the word "movie" is right there in the title) it's a TV movie, but it still counts. As does Muppets Wizard of Oz - TV movie, but still a movie. 
Note to Disney: The Muppets: Letters to Santa is also NOT a movie, not even a TV movie. just a TV special, and that's OK!

Anyway, be sure to check out this issue that touts all the awesomeness of 
Muppet Family Christmas and try to overlook that not one other "movies" listed are actually TV specials.
