A Sesame Street Christmas Carol is a direct-to-video Sesame Street special, scheduled for release to home video on November 14, 2006. Oscar the Grouch stars in the Ebenezer Scrooge role for a Sesame Street version of the classic novel by Charles Dickens. In this video, Oscar gets visited by a delivery man who tells him that he will be visited by three ghosts -- Rhubarb, a grouch in the role of the ghost of christmas past, Christmas Carole, a christmas tree in the role of the ghost of christmas present, and a computer-animated verison of Sam the Robot in the role of the ghost of christmas future. They all show Oscar the past, present, and future of christmas, provided by clips from Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, Elmo Saves Christmas, and Elmo's World: Happy Holidays.

A Christmas Carol was previously adapted by the Muppets in the 1992 film The Muppet Christmas Carol, and has been spoofed in Muppet Magazine, a Sesame Street calendar, and the 1978 TV special, A Special Sesame Street Christmas, as well as other books and albums.
