Christmas/Holiday Movies: “It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie”
Hi, everyone!
I had a pretty hectic Halloween season this year, so I wasn’t able to continue my series about Halloween movies. However, I know that my subsequent series on holiday/Christmas/winter movies (and specials) only had half the amount of entries… that is, only two. Yikes.
So, I’m going to rectify that this year, starting…
… now!
For those of you who are new (or just don’t remember), this is how this series works…
This month, I’m going to watch (and, in some cases, re-watch) some movies that are perfect for the holiday/Christmas/winter season. These are not reviews, because I’ll only be writing about films I love and recommend. There’s no plan, method, or scientific algorithm to what movies I’m going to watch or how I’m going to structure these entries. I’m just going to have fun with it, and I hope you will, too!
First up, a TV movie that I believe is ridiculously underrated…
It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002)!
I do not own any of the following images or videos!
Here’s the trailer:
It’s ALWAYS a merry Christmas with The Muppets!
It’s a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002)
Plot: The Muppets are putting on a big Christmas show to save their theater, but when everything goes wrong and Kermit the Frog’s spirit seems broken, an angel comes to show him what the world––– and his friends––– would be like if he’d never been born.
I also have a very personal connection to this movie, which you’ll have to read on to find out about!
Spoilers lurk beyond this point!
“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Getting into the Holiday Season Spirit Songs”!
Hi, everyone!
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, a new season of holiday festivities is upon us!
As you break out the decorations and holiday clothes, grab some hot chocolate and turn your radio to Jammin’ with Jamie as we start…
“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Filling Thanksgiving Follies”!
Hi, everyone!
Due to illness, this Jammin’ with Jamie jam session will jam Saturday, November 26!
Next Thursday, it’s time to gather with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving!
While you’re thinking about what you’re thankful for and working up an appetite, make sure you jam with us (pun intended), as we tide ourselves over with an appetizer of…
“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Halloween Harmonies (Halloween 2016: Part 6)”!
Hi, everyone!
Thank you for sharing this magical broomstick ride through spooky seasonal songs with us! We have come to our final Halloween-themed jam session (for now), and this time, we’re going to take our theme as literally as possible!
When the bell tolls six on Saturday morning, it will be time for…
“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Monster Melodies (Halloween 2016: Part 5)”!
Hi, everyone!
This is my one-hundredth blog entry! Woo-hoo!
As I have made clear in so many previous posts here (and on other sites), I’m a big fan of horror (and horror comedy). I have a special place in my heart for monster movies. Monster movie fans often dub ourselves, “Monster Kids.”
This week on Jammin’ with Jamie, we’re unleashing our inner Monster Kids––– or maybe, for some of you Jammers, discovering them––– with one of my personal favorite of our Halloween jam session themes…
“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Dungeon Dance Ditties (Halloween 2016: Part 4)”!
Hi, everyone!
I always encourage my fellow Jammers to sing and dance along with me during our jam sessions. This week, the focus will be on the latter.
The amount of spooky songs that are somehow related to dancing is, well, shocking… pun intended!
So let’s give our muscles a jolt as we jam to…
“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Terror-ific TV Tunes (Halloween 2016: Part 3)”!
Hi, everyone!
How do you get in the spirit of the spooky season? Of course, there are Halloween harmonies you can sing and dance along to, but there are also plenty of Halloween movies, TV shows, and TV specials that will get you excited for the haunted holiday!
So turn out the lights, grab some popcorn (or candy corn), and snuggle up with a blanket or two, and jam with us to a macabre mix of…
“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Mad Science Songs (Halloween 2016: Part 2)”!
Hi, everyone!
As promised, we’re still jammin’ to Halloween songs, and as also promised, we have a new Halloween-related theme this week!
I locked myself away in my laboratory to experiment and come up with a theme, when suddenly, “EUREKA!”
“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Supernatural Songs (Halloween 2016: Part 1)”!
Hi, everyone!
… It’s time.
It doesn’t seem like that long ago that we helped ourselves to a heap of haunting hors d’oeuvres to celebrate being halfway to Halloween!
At this time last year, I wasn’t doing Jammin’ with Jamie, and I didn’t anticipate just how much I’d miss sharing some of my favorite music––– from my lifelong Halloween hallmark harmonies to new diabolically delightful ditties I discovered––– with you amazing Jammers!
When I first started Jammin’ with Jamie in October 2011, I dove right into the dungeon of devilishly dance-able ditties, and have continued that grand tradition ever since!
Now that I’m back on the airwaves (and online), I’m not wasting any time in going back to my roots… even if I have to hike through a haunted forest to find those roots!

So crack open your favorite spell book, refresh yourself with your favorite potion from your cauldron, and invite the spirits in your house to sing and dance along with us to…
