Die Muppets: Briefe an den Weihnachtsmann is the German dub of A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa. The main film features the original English, as well as the German sound track, and subtitles in English, German, and Italian.
The DVD release features the same bonus content as the US version, advertised as Das Muppets Weihnachtsstrumpf-Buffet, with English audio and German subtitles.
The length of the special is 53 minutes, which corresponds with the 55 minutes long extended US release of the special, whereas the reduction of minutes hails from the conversion of NTSC to PAL format during which films are being sped up slightly.
With a few exceptions of voice artists that have been around since Die Muppet Show, this dub features the third set of German voice artists that have been voicing the Muppets since Muppets Der Zauberer von Oz.
