🎄 It’s been 10 years since the Muppets’ 2015 TV series gave us the gift of a Christmas episode, so it’s time to stay Up Late with Miss Piggy and find out if we can take it seriously, or if it left us because we couldn’t stop making jokes about it.Â
Becca Petunia and J.D. Hansel of ToughPigs.com join the chaos including, but not limited to: a rigged Secret Santa! Gross and unhelpful mistletoe strategy! And, of course, Echosmith!Â
đź“ş You can find “Single All the Way” on Disney+.Â
Becca’s also on A Prairie Dawn Companion and Here Comes Tomorrow.Â
J.D. is also on The Great Muppet Fandom Panel and Stick to Shorts.Â
