30 'Muppet Christmas Carol' Quotes for that Warm and Fuzzy Feeling

Christmas movies have long become a tradition in Hollywood, and in 1992, fans were treated to the acclaimed film, "The Muppet Christmas Carol." The film has since gained a cult following among people of various generations.

The Walt Disney Pictures production is headlined by a grumpy and selfish moneylender, Ebenezer Scrooge, who is not a fan of Christmas. Other characters in the film, including Jacob and Robert Marley, try to get him to change his ways, which he eventually does.

Quotes from the film are mainly about Christmas, with Scrooge ridiculing the event while others try to show the importance of it. Here are excerpts from the movie about the always eagerly anticipated December 25 holiday.
