Could The Muppet Christmas Carol return in a new form? While there are currently no announced plans for a new movie or animated feature based specifically on the Christmas classic, Disney continues to keep The Muppets in the spotlight.
That makes the latest event interesting for fans hoping to see more of Kermit and company.
Released in 1992, The Muppet Christmas Carol remains one of the franchise’s most beloved films, with Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Rizzo, and the Muppets. Its combination of Dickens’ story, songs, and Muppet humor has made it a Christmas tradition.
There is no announced new Muppet Christmas Carol film, animated remake, or dedicated theme park attraction. However, Disney is giving the wider Muppets franchise plenty of attention. In 2026, The Muppet Show returned with a new Disney+ special, while The Muppets became the new theme of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster at Walt Disney World.
For The Muppet Christmas Carol itself, the next project is taking place on stage.

Disney’s The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert Live to Film will return to London’s Eventim Apollo on November 28, 2026, marking the sixth consecutive year of the concert. The performance features the complete movie and a full orchestra playing Miles Goodman’s original score live in sync.
The event then travels across the UK, with dates in Poole, Bradford, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Nottingham, Southend, Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Bath, Brighton, and Portsmouth before concluding in Manchester on December 17.
For now, another Muppet Christmas Carol movie remains wishful thinking for fans. But with Disney continuing to expand The Muppets’ presence across screens, parks, and live entertainment, fans have plenty of reasons to keep hoping.
