NEWS UPDATE: DECEMBER 22
Don't forget to watch The Muppets on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon tomorrow night (Wednesday, December 23rd). Muppets Studio's Facebook page is reporting that Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Rizzo, Pepe, Scooter, Rowlf, Robin, Sam Eagle, and Animal will all be appearing to sing "The 12 Days of Christmas." This is sure to be an incredible appearance--and not just because Scooter, Rowlf, Robin, and Sam Eagle will be there. Well... okay, mostly because of that. Be sure to check it out!

Multiple Disney blogs are reporting that the Muppets will be a big part of the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World's daily "Celebrate a Dream Come True" parades. Tentatively scheduled to begin January 4, 2010, Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Sweetums will be on-hand to help welcome those volunteers who got into the park for free as part of the Give a Day. Get a Disney Day. promotion during the pre-parade ceremonies. Some sources are reporting that the actual Muppets, and not walk-around characters, will be in the parade. If we find out more information, you know we will report it!

ToughPigs has also broken the news that artist Katie Cook will be writing and drawing one of the new Fraggle Rock comics from Archaia Comics to be released next year.
