The owner of a bank (Miss Bitterman) wants to own the Muppet Theatre so she can build a nightclub over it. After she tricks Pepe into giving her the only copy of the contract between her father and the Muppets, she changes it so the Muppets have very little time to pay a debt they owe. Meanwhile, the Muppets are trying to put on a Christmas show. After the Muppets are confronted by Bitterman, they make a lot of sacrifices to save up so they can keep the Theatre.
Editor's Verdict
"The plot explicitly revolves around the Muppets attempting to stage a Christmas show while facing financial ruin. The Christmas theme acts as the main stage for the conflict and the required unity/generosity needed for the resolution, satisfying multiple strong criteria."
