Disney’s a big fan of holiday specials, and we’ve seen several so far this year!

Last month, we watched The Wonderful World of Disney: Magical Holiday Celebration, and we laughed along with the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special that premiered on Disney+. Disney Magic Holiday Quest was also new this year and featured Disney Channel stars participating in an overnight scavenger hunt at Magic Kingdom. Now there’s a Disney-themed holiday addition coming to a place you wouldn’t expect — an NFL game!

For tonight’s Monday Night Football game, The Muppets will be taking over to bring some Christmas cheer! Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Statler, Waldorf, and Animal will “kickoff” the game with a festive performance.

Our friends will continue to check back in on the game throughout the night — it’s called Muppet Night Football for a reason!

Get Ready for The Muppets on @ESPN, starting at 8 PM ET! Tonight’s @NFL game is going to start off with one of the most unusual – and holiday cheerful – openings in the history of MNF, so tune in! For more details: https://t.co/4LEVlVgx61 pic.twitter.com/SwYguCXwpr
