Well Thanksgiving is over, which means we don't get a single day to recuperate before the Christmas shopping madness begins.

Disney Plus has the third-best Christmas Carol movie of all time* The Muppet Christmas Carol available to stream, so here are some reasons why people still love this movie:

1. It's one of the best food movies of all time.

2.  Michael Caine friggin loves it.

3. It's got Easter Eggs.

4. Lots of Easter Eggs.

5.  The great Paul Williams wrote the songs.

6.  It was a very emotional project for the creators.

and 7. The Ghost of Christmas Past is freaky as hell.
