Kermit announces that he's about to have a chat with one of the world's most famous people: Santa Claus. After describing the activities Santa is most known for, Kermit calls for his entrance, but he's greeted instead by a rabbit carrying a sack of toys. Despite his insistence that he delivers jack-o-lanterns and black cats on Christmas morning, Kermit deduces that he's The Easter Bunny and he should be delivering Easter eggs.
They're interrupted by a witch who makes her entrance hopping along with an Easter basket. Kermit explains that witches go with Halloween, the rabbit is supposed to hide colored eggs on Easter morning, and Santa Claus goes, "Ho, ho, ho." They're joined by a man dressed as Santa Claus who asks Kermit to repeat what he just said. Kermit repeats "Ho, ho, ho." Overjoyed, the man identifies Kermit as Santa Claus and claims he has been looking all over for him. The skit ends with Santa trying to sit in Kermit's lap, as he excitedly lists all of the presents he'd like. The witch and the Easter Bunny crowd around Kermit talking loudly as well.
