According to Goodspeed, "As Christmas approaches the world of Frogtown Hollow, Emmet Otter and his Ma can only dream of buying each other gifts. So when a Christmas Eve talent contest is announced, both secretly enter hoping to win the prize money. In a heartwarming twist on 'The Gift of the Magi,' Emmet and Ma risk all they have and end up with the greatest grand prize of all. Featuring a lovable mix of actors and puppet characters from The Jim Henson Company, and a toe-tapping score, it’s a classic holiday musical for all ages!"

The cast features Justin Bohon, Kathy Fitzgerald and Jennifer Barnhart, Meg Guzulescu, Stephen Bienskie, Lisa Howard, Jill Abramovitz, Stanley Bahorek, Scott Barnhardt, Thomas Cannizzaro and Matt Furtado. Puppeteers include Leo Daignault, Anney Ozar, James Silson and David Stephens.
