rsion of The Muppet Christmas Carol, debuting exclusively at the Bullock Texas State History Museum. This immersive experience promises to deliver a “multisensory screening, including snow,” according to the museum’s website. For just $12—or $8 for members—guests can feel like they’re stepping into Dickensian London alongside Kermit and the gang. While it’s unclear if this 4DX experience will expand to other venues, it’s worth keeping an eye on local theaters known for showcasing classic films with a twist.

For those unable to catch the 4DX screening, there are still plenty of ways to celebrate this Christmas classic. Disney+ is streaming both the original theatrical cut and the updated version featuring the restored song “When Love Is Gone,” giving fans the choice of how they want to relive the tale of Ebenezer Scrooge’s redemption.

If you prefer a cozier option, consider picking up “The Muppet Christmas Carol: The Illustrated Holiday Classic”. This beautifully rendered storybook captures the spirit of the film without its musical numbers, leaving room for your own creative interpretations.

The Disney+ synopsis perfectly encapsulates why this movie remains a holiday staple: “Tis the season for love, laughter and one of the most cherished stories of all time. Join Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and all the hilarious Muppets in this merry, magical version of Charles Dickens’ classic tale. Michael Caine gives a performance that’s anything but ‘bah, humbug!’ as greedy, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge.”

Directed by Brian Henson, the film features unforgettable performances from Kermit the Frog as Bob Cratchit, Miss Piggy as Emily Cratchit, and Michael Caine as Scrooge, with Gonzo hilariously narrating as Charles Dickens. The Muppets’ whimsical take on A Christmas Carol manages to balance humor, heart, and timeless lessons about generosity and kindness.
