"Xmas Time"[1] is a song from the 1970 special The Great Santa Claus Switch.
While trapped in a dungeon with Thig and Thog, Santa Claus reveals that he's not inherently magic, but at Christmas time, he possesses certain magical properties that turn the prison cell into a cozy, decorated room ready for the holiday. He proceeds to sing about how all the wonderful elements of the holiday (such as holly, snow, and laughter in the air) are what make Christmas magical. The song gives the two Frackles a change of heart.
The song is reprised by the entire Muppet chorus during the end credits of the special.
