The Muppets tell Charles Dickens' classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserable miser who despises Christmas. On Christmas Eve, he is visited by the ghosts of Jacob Marley and the Spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come. They take him on a journey through his own life, showing him the error of his ways and offering him a chance at redemption before it's too late.
