During the New Year’s Eve broadcast, Kermit and Piggy appeared to give a short holiday greeting and promoted the upcoming special. Later in the program, the first full promo for the show debuted, offering fans a better sense of what to expect.
So far, only low-quality recordings of the trailer have circulated online, as no official high-definition version has been released yet. But the teaser gives viewers a glimpse of the humor and charm the Muppets are known for.
