The Muppets Are Hosting Tonight’s NFL Game! (Yes, You Read That Correctly)

Disney’s a big fan of holiday specials, and we’ve seen several so far this year!

Last month, we watched The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration, and we laughed along with the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special that premiered on Disney+. Disney Magic Holiday Quest was also new this year and featured Disney Channel stars participating in an overnight scavenger hunt at Magic Kingdom. Now there’s a Disney-themed holiday addition coming to a place you wouldn’t expect — an NFL game!

For tonight’s Monday Night Football game, The Muppets will be taking over to bring some Christmas cheer! Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Statler, Waldorf, and Animal will “kickoff” the game with a festive performance.
