I saw the TV special a couple years ago. I can't remember what they did with Alfie, I'll have to see it again. It was good for the most part but heh, even though it's called "A Christmas Together", there is definitely more of John than there is of the Muppets, lol. There are a few cute Muppet moments of course, but it's largely John doing numbers while the Muppets watch and nod, lol.
Still, John does tell the whole Christmas nativity story, which is great. And then there's that adorable exchange between John and Kermit:
Kermit: There was this one frog who used to say "Everything's as easy as falling off a log!"...and then one day...he croaked.
John: HE DIED? ! (Hilarious reaction btw )
Kermit: No, he croacked. "Help, help!" he croacked! He'd fallen off a log.
