(From The Muppet Wiki)
The Great Santa Claus Switch was a Muppet television special that first aired on CBS on December 20, 1970.
Jim Henson's Muppets had made several successful guest appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show and in Christmas of 1970, when Sesame Street was starting to become popular, Ed gave Jim Henson and the Muppets a whole hour of his show as a Christmas gift.
The Great Santa Claus Switch was a full-on Henson production -- written by Jerry Juhl, music by Joe Raposo and puppets by Don Sahlin.

anyone who was born in the 60's who may have seen this, but are not sure... should view it again in the case that it triggers any memories... alot of the themes in this "program" can be seen recurring in subsequent Jim Henson productions.

My Father and I have been searching for this in DVD bins and on all websites. Thank you for posting it! Let's hope that it will be available as a packaged DVD soon. I remember the original broadcast,... and I haven't seen it complete since.

I never saw the original broadcast so the only way ive seen it is through the version i found to post up here. I wish that they could figure out the rights issues on this as i would love to have a high quality version avaiable of it.
