John Denver and the Muppets recorded this Christmas album in 1979, blending traditional carols with original songs. It was released in October of that year under RCA Records.
The album features duets between Denver and characters like Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy, highlighting 'The Peace Carol' and a version of 'The Twelve Days of Christmas' with the Muppets.
Although initially a moderate success, it became a holiday classic over time, reissued on CD in 1990 and 2008. Denver donated part of the proceeds to children's charities.
