Went with the Muppets because they're sick.

Muppets was my number one vote so of course I'm backing it. As Ricky Gervias once said, "A Christmas Carol is the greatest story ever told. There's only one way to improve it with Muppets"

 

[Chris]

Speaking of, I'm a pretty big mark for all the cartoon adaptations of A Christmas Carol lol something about other fictional characters playing the roles is just a great formula. I remember a Flintstones version that I loved too
