Changes: Muppet Christmas ornaments (Disney)

Revision as of 02:42, 21 November 2015

After the purchase of the Muppets by Disney, merchandise began appearing exclusively for sale in the Disney catalog, parks, and online. This included Christmas ornaments, beginning in 2005.

One highlight was the inclusion of a "Storybook Muppet Ornament" collection. The Storybook collection is an ongoing series, with each set packaged in a box shaped like a hardcover book. This set featured Kermit and Robin, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Animal, Gonzo, Camilla, and Rizzo.

In 2010, Disney created a new ornament picturing Miss Piggy hugging Kermit. In 2014, two ornaments were released; one again featuring Kermit and Miss Piggy, and one with Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker. In 2015, anornament with Rizzo the Rat dressed as Mickey Mouse inside a Christmas wreath was released.
