Credit: DisneyChristmas traditions come in all shapes and sizes, but few are quite as dependable as watching Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the Muppets take on Charles Dickens in the beloved holiday classic The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992).
This year, fans in London will have the chance to revisit their favorite festive film, with one theater practically turning December into an extended celebration of The Muppet Christmas Carol.

The Muppet Christmas Carol Gets Sing-Along Experiences and More
The Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square is bringing back the 1992 musical, starring Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge, for more than 50 screenings between November 27 and December 24, 2026.
The film will play almost every day in the run-up to Christmas, with multiple performances on several dates, giving audiences something resembling an advent calendar of Muppet movie magic.
Not every performance will be a sing-along, so anyone hoping to belt out the film’s musical numbers should check the listings before booking. Selected screenings include a hosted pre-show featuring the cinema’s very own Father Christmas, who’ll prepare audiences for the experience. Costumes aren’t compulsory, but festive jumpers and Muppet-inspired outfits are welcome.
This year’s screenings also include the restored version of the film featuring its long-lost song, “When Love Is Gone.”
The timing couldn’t be better. Walmart recently brought the story back into the spotlight with A Who Knew Carol, a new holiday commercial starring Walton Goggins as Scrooge, alongside Stephanie Beatriz and familiar Muppet favorites. The campaign reimagines the film’s opening musical number, with Pepé the King Prawn also joining the Christmas Carol festivities.
Disney Store has been getting in on the nostalgia, too. Its brand-new 2026 Muppet Christmas Carol merchandise collection includes ornaments, plush characters, limited-edition pins, a Gonzo and Rizzo soft toy set, and festive clothing.
Alongside the new merch from Walmart and Disney, this year also sees the return of The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert Live to Film, where the movie will be once again screened while a live orchestra performs its score in several venues throughout the UK.
The Muppet Christmas Carol screens at the Prince Charles Cinema from November 27 through December 24, 2026.
