As a supplement to yesterday's link to Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, here's an extended outtake of Frank Oz (as Ma) and Jerry Nelson (as Emmet) becoming ever more loopy and funny during take after take of a scene in the special.

(There's a few different bloopers at the start of the video but they're nothing special, so I linked directly to the good part.)

A Henson Production Christmas special produced in Toronto for showing on the Canadian TV network CBC in 1977. It was recut for American TV in 1980 and was nominated for four Emmys in 1981.

"In this one-hour Christmas special, Fozzie Bear surprises his mother Emily on Christmas Eve by bringing the entire Muppet gang to her farm to celebrate the holidays. Doc and his dog Sprocket, who had planned a quiet Christmas, end up joining the Muppets in their holiday activities and preparations."
