The Great Santa Claus Switch

On December 20, 1970, television legends Jim Henson, Art Carney and Ed Sullivan came together for one night of Christmas magic. Santa Claus (Art Carney) and his elves are ready to deliver presents to children everywhere. But Cosmo Scam (Also Carney) has hatched a plan to kidnap Santa's elves and replaces them with his evil henchmen. Can Fred the Elf (Jim Henson) save Christmas before Cosmo burglarizes the world? And will Thig and Thog (Frank Oz and Jerry Nelson), Lothar (Henson) and the Frackles ever find the Christmas spirit? Featuring original songs by Joe Raposo (Sesame Street), this was Jim Henson's first major TV special. It introduced monster who appear in Muppet productions to this day, like Thos, the Frackles, and the puppet that became Gonzo. This DVD has been painstakingly restored frame by frame and features other Muppet clips to brighten up your holiday.
