"Happy Holidays" is a popular Christmas song written by Irving Berlin for the 1942 film Holiday Inn, in which it is heard during the opening credits as well as during the Christmas Eve celebration. The song expresses simple good wishes for the holiday season.
In episode 517 of The Muppet Show, "Happy Holidays" is included in a patriotic/Christmas medley.
In A Muppet Family Christmas, Rowlf the Dog leads the Muppet Show and Sesame Street casts in a chorus of "Happy Holidays" to start their final carol medley; the song is also repeated later on in the medley.
