The series has been directed by Peter Harris and Eric Till while the writing credits can be given to Jerry Juhl.
The cast of the Family Christmas includes Caroll Spinney, Gerry Spinney and some Muppet performers like Jim Henson, Frank Oz, David Rudman, Dave Goelz, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, Steve Whitmire, Kathryn Mullen and Karen Prell. Family Christmas or 'A Muppet Family Christmas' is the only Muppet production to feature the Muppets connected with all the four major Muppet franchises, which are 'The Muppet Show', 'Sesame Street', 'Fraggle Rock' and 'Muppet Babies'. These can be seen as actual puppets in this series.
The plot of Family Christmas revolves around Doc who in order to escape the city life decides to spend his holidays in the country area. The house he gets to stay in is owned by Fozzie Bear's mother who is herself planning to go to California for Christmas. Fozzie bear surprises his mother by bringing the entire Muppet gang to her farm for celebrating the holidays. The Sesame Street regulars like Big Bird, Bert and Ernie and others also join the celebrations. Even Doc and his dog Sprocket also end up joining the holiday festivities with the Muppets.
Since the music rights of the series have been secured only for the television so the recent music videos release of the movie leave out the two musical numbers as well as four scenes. This editing has brought about many abrupt changes in the movie.
