Miss Piggy Goes to Washington



During the month of December in 2015, Miss Piggy visited The White House in a series of social media posts and appearances dubbed "Miss Piggy Goes to Washington" by The Muppets' YouTube channel. Miss Piggy had previously read A Visit from St. Nicholas with Michelle Obama at The National Christmas Tree Lighting on December 4.

On December 9, The Muppets' YouTube channel posted a video in which Miss Piggy gives a tour of The White House for viewers of Up Late with Miss Piggy. The tour included an interview with The First Lady's Chief of Staff, Tina Tchen. Piggy reports from the Vermeil Room and the Blue Room which features the White House Christmas tree (she finds a gift for Kermit, but gets angry to find that there isn't one for her). After attempting to go upstairs to visit POTUS, Piggy is escorted off the premises by the Secret Service.

On December 22, Miss Piggy took over Michelle Obama's Instagram account and posted five photos.
