47:59Muppets Family Christmas HD Version Jim Henson Sesame Street Fraggle Rock Muppet Babieshttps://youtu.be/3zi68pvazxIHas been slightly upscaled, but it's not extremely noticable. Nothing is cut out, but it seems to be a fan edit because of the varying visual quality. Best complete version without commercials on YouTube.
11
47:51A Muppet Family Christmas (1987) - Full Specialhttps://youtu.be/Bi9qSKZuvC4Some audio and visual issues. More consistent visual quality than the 47:59 youtube version above, but the overall quality is slightly worse. Complete version without commercials.
12
57:08A Muppet Family Christmas - Original 1987 Broadcast w/ Commercialshttps://youtu.be/2qKtdmfTT9YNothing is cut out of it. It is actually from a 1988 broadcast and contains only left channel audio.
13
56:51A Muppet Family Christmas (w original commercials)https://youtu.be/Nyrk0wTpU_8A bit oversatured and not fantastic visual quality, but nothing is cut out of it. Some of the commercials have been reinserted in editing, so it is not an exactly-as-aired recording, and the audio quality on the commercials is all over the place.
14
47:26A Muppet Family Christmas (1987) (1080p Upscale)https://youtu.be/3gAniAEQrakNoticeable upscaling, which could look great to some people and awful to others, depending on how you feel about upscaling. It is missing the moment where Fozzie and Elmo light the tree and Fozzie and his mom hang their stockings. No musical numbers are cut.

47:37VTS_01_1.mp4 & VTS_01_2.mp4https://archive.org/details/muppet-family-christmas-the-christmas-toy/MUPPETCHRISTMAST/VIDEO_TS/VTS_01_1.VOBOne of the best looking versions, but it is missing the moment where Fozzie and Elmo light the tree and Fozzie and his mom hang their stockings. No musical numbers are cut.
16
47:37A Muppet Family Christmas (1989 edit)https://archive.org/details/a-muppet-family-christmas/A+Muppet+Family+Christmas+(1989+edit).mkvSeems the same as the above version, but maybe looks slightly worse. It is however slightly more convenient to watch because it's all in one clip. It is also missing the moment where Fozzie and Elmo light the tree and Fozzie and his mom hang their stockings. No musical numbers are cut.

No musical numbers are cut.

47:50A Muppet Family Christmas.iahttps://archive.org/details/a-muppet-family-christmas_202202Visual quality is pretty terrible. Audio quality is also not great, but it is a complete version with nothing cut out. There are better options on archive.org

58:54Muppet Family Christmas Original ABC 7 airing 1987 All songs, original adshttps://youtu.be/YOtHvFYgq6cPretty rough in terms of visual quality, but nothing is cut out of it. It does seem to be a 1988 airing, and not an original 1987 airing, based on the commercials that are shown.

47:29A Muppet Family Christmas - 2002 Portugal DVD - 1989 Edithttps://archive.org/details/a-muppet-family-christmas/A+Muppet+Family+Christmas+-+2002+Portugal+DVD+-+1989+Edit.mkvVisual quality isn't too bad, but it is missing the moment where Fozzie and Elmo light the tree and Fozzie and his mom hang their stockings. No musical numbers are cut. One of the lesser archive.org options.
22
59:57A Muppet Family Christmas [1987]https://youtu.be/pZ5ZTlzi_TkRecorded from YTV in 2000. Not the original 1987 commercials, but could be nostalgic for people who were young in 2000. A couple of really small things are cut out, including Elmo and Fozzie lighting the tree and Fozzie and his mom hanging their stockings. None of the musical numbers are cut.

53:34Muppet Family Christmas Moviehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvT5CHwTRnoAppears to be a fan edit as the visual quality is all over the place. It is complete, but it also has an annoying Kinemaster logo on it the whole time and has an odd mix of Barney, Wiggles, and Bob the Builder commercials at the beginning.

46:35Muppet Family Xmas 1987https://youtu.be/Xd2TQjuQkN8From a mid-90s VHS release, features the original VHS ads at the beginning. This one has many things cut out.
