Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas

• Through the year, as the special moved from network to network, changes were made to Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas in order to accommodate time constraints. Cuts were made, but in some cases, previously deleted material was added. The the "Collector's Edition" DVD (which presents the original HBO version of the special, sans the Kermit the Frog scenes) also includes among its bonus features the footage that was cut from the original HBO version of the show (but had often been seen in extended/alternate edits in subsequent television airings and home video releases). For more information on the changes made to the special throughout the years, see the complete list of edits.
• The song "Born in a Trunk" (sung by Mrs. Mink) was written for the special by Paul Williams and recorded by Marilyn Sokol, but was dropped prior to production.

• Two scenes involving Kermit reporting on the street do not appear in the final version of the special.

Another scene featured Kermit talking with Elmo.
