Summary

Nananana… Mup-pets! Jason and Ashley celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the best Christmas Movie ever made! The monstrous Scrooge, who lives in the sewers beneath London, joins up with wicked shock-headed businessman The Ghost of Christmas Past to topple Kermit the Frog once and for all. But when Ghost's timid assistant, Rizzo, finds out, and The Ghost tries to kill him, he is transformed into the sexy Rat Puppet. He teams up with Scrooge and The Ghost to destroy Kermit, but sparks fly unexpectedly when he confronts the Green Crusader. That's the synopsis of this movie, right?
