McDonald's made a set of three "Holiday Huggable" Muppet Babies plush toys in 1988 that were available for an extra fee with the purchase of a Happy Meal. The animated Muppet Babies characters appeared briefly in the commercial.

The 1998 price guide Fast Food Toys by Gail Pope and Keith Hammond lists the set as "Muppet Babies Christmas Carol".

A second set has appeared on the collectors market. These are dated 1994 and are identified as being manufactured for McDonalds. The three plush which have been found are Baby Kermit, Baby Fozzie, and Baby Gonzo. The Kermit and Fozzie differ from the earlier two plush slightly. Fozzie is manufactured from a much lighter brown fabric, appearing almost faded. He also has a different scarf and earmuffs instead of a hat. Kermit's eyes are slightly smaller then the first version.
