John Denver's estate is being fought over by his descendants. So none of this stuff is available for purchase. It's one reason why the Muppet Show season 4 never made it to DVD.

I grew up on this soundtrack. I remember baking Christmas goodies and dancing around the kitchen to this with my Mom when I was growing up. I love it so much my parents bought it for me on CD when I was in HS. Now today, as it's my Mom's heavenly birthday... it reminds me of her. Such fond memories.

Thank you for sharing your memories. I thought I was reading something I wrote… my mother had passed away a couple years ago and I cry when I listen to this now because I had those same memories with her as you had with yours. I thought the magic died when she left us but now that I have 2 babies of my own, I am going to carry on her legacy and try to keep that magic alive…starting with this ❤.
@Therealwojo6 ай бұрын
I'm so sorry for your mothers passing and what a nice way to honor her memory too. Kiddos aren't in my future, but that gave me an idea that maybe next year I'll start a tradition with my friends to do a baking day or weekend and it might be nice for them too, because these are friends that used to come over and bake with us when I was a kid. Even get my Dad into it. 🥰@@desireegrider161

@@MaryLodge-bp2zn There’s a few Muppet Christmas movies. There’s A Muppet’s Christmas Carol, A Very Merry Muppet’s Christmas, A Muppet’s Christmas: Letter to Santa and A Muppet Family Christmas.

It may sound corny, but there's something about Rowlf the Dog and John Denver singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" -- the combination of Rowlf (Jim Henson's) craggy voice and John's sweet tenor -- that just puts a lump in my throat every time. With any other Muppet or any other singer, it would probably just be cheesy. With these two, it's just ... magical.

All classics from my younger days, but I still love them each year When John was the height of his career, I think I saw 👀 him somewhere around 10 times in concert around the Chicago area. Always a class act 👏 ; too bad that he's passed away 😢 now !

As far as why it never got a Blu-Ray/DVD release, it's because it's not a Muppet special with John Denver, but a John Denver special that just so happens to have the Muppets on it. I think we've never got such a release is because of an issue with John Denver's estate.

I remember Dec 1979, when this premiered,well-I was ten and in fifth grade. In fact,for Xmas that year I got the soundtrack on--ready for this--8 track! Remember those? Yes,I'm showing my age,certainly,having grown up with eight track tapes(I'm 48, and still have the eight track tape to this day.) Also,how nice it would have been if they had made a Xmas special with John D and the sesame street gang(yes,I know there's Xmas eve on SS,which premiered the year before this,in fact), but still,after seeing all of the muppets here-Kermit and Miss piggy,and Janice and Floyd,etc,all snuggled together while singing Silent night,can't you just picture,say,in the case of the SS humans,Susan and Gordon,David and Maria(as he was still her beau at the time,as seen in Xmas eve special), and Bob and Linda,all snuggling together while singing Silent Night? And,so as not to lead others to think that I think Bert and Ernie are gay(I don't think they are!), say,Betty lou or Prairie Dawn sitting between Bert and Ernie,while singing silent night and we wish you a Merry Xmas. That would be neat,now that I think about it,so as to teach preschoolers the religious part of Xmas,just as John does here,before they sing Silent night. Merry Christmas,to all of my fellow youtubers, especially those I recognize as regular old school SS and electric company viewers-MIKECNW,Jon Clip,afriendofbean,Tiny Dancer,Francis C and diestasfus.

the last song in this set, Stille Nacht , is the most beloved Christmas Carol in the Western World but one truly cannot appreciate it until one listens to it in the ORIGINAL KLINGON! ;-}}

We're still missing both John and Jim Henson.

I have the cd of the songs. Wish they had it on DVD. I watched it when it was originally on. I love Rowlf the dog. I remember the original Muppet show that used to be on every week as well. John Denver was the best. He is truly missed.

I adore this album! It's been a Christmas tradition for me since its release...❤

WOW: I was nineteen when this special aired and had already moved away from home (making it kind of a rough Christmas to say the least) and somehow I had always missed this even in subsequent reruns. The Muppet Nativity blew me away; the expressions, the mannerisms, I mean, it gives me goosebumps even now, at 57 years old. Just fantastic.

Cynthia, I am the same age and I loved to watch this show on a TV-Station from West-Germany, which was officially not allowed during communist dictatorship to us East Germans living behind the Iron Curtain. But we did it anyway. Tough times, a lot of snow and still a way to go for freedom. I met my future husband that December. Merry Christmas!!!!

Same to you. Incidentally, I was adopted in infancy and when I was very ill about fifteen years ago I learned about my biological beginnings: my father was full German/American and my mother was German and French. Just another bit of something in common. Merry, merry Muppet Christmas!

Thanks! That's nice. Small world. And Merry Christmas to all the Muppets-and John Denver Friends around the world!!!

I first heard this program from a cassette tape when I was a young girl. This is the first time I watched this program and I'm already 50! Can't wait to watch again with my 8 yr old son who's been listening to the soundtrack every Christmas! He'll go crazy!!!

John Denver’s music is what sets this Christmas special apart from others. It’s In Everyone of Us is an amazing song and a balm for 2020. Thanks for posting.

I have this CD, but never knew it was based from an actual TV special. Apparently there were additional music selections that were left off the audio CD. This is so cute. I always enjoyed John's music and the Muppets growing up. I honestly don't remember this special ever being on.
