Walmart has released a new ad-entry into the world of the Muppets Christmas Carol.
Because one wasn’t bad enough, you can see their first ad below.
The new ad has the Ghost of Christmas Presents (geddit?) visiting Scrooge, once again played here by Walton Goggins, on Christmas Eve ot convince him that spending money at a massive corporation is is what Christmas is all about.
Once again, Charles Dickens must be spinning in his grave!

Charles Dickens’ classic wintertime cautionary tale gets a fuzzy, felty makeover courtesy of Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the rest of the Muppets – ably assisted by a thoroughly game Michael Caine.
One fateful Christmas Eve, the greedy, penny-pinching Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. Together with kind, humble Bob Cratchit and his family, these Spirits open Scrooge’s eyes – and his heart – to the true meaning of Christmas.
A Christmas Carol is the story that launched countless adaptations, but few come close to the heart and humour of the Muppets’ inimitable interpretation.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
