"Home For the Holidays", sometimes titled "(There is No Place Like) Home for the Holidays", is a popular Christmas song. It was a hit for Perry Como in 1954, but has also been recorded by numerous other artists. The upbeat song intersperses a chorus about the importance of being at home for holidays, with a quirky verse about people traveling across the US to get home which reaches the humorous conclusion "From Atlantic to Pacific, Gee the traffic is terrific!"
It is sung by Miss Piggy and the cast in A Muppet Family Christmas, when she finally arrives at Emily Bear's farmhouse.
