You've never seen The Muppets like this.
The entire zany gang took over a crumpet factory in Bolton, northern England, to star in what's been voted the best Christmas 2015 commercial across the pond.
The 2-minute clip starts with Kermit the Frog pitching "The Giant Crumpet Show" musical to British baking company Warburtons' chairman Jonathan Warburton.
The characters then attempt to convince him, through a re-worked version of "The Muppet Show" song and dance, into investing in their idea.
They make countless local references, including to British soap opera Coronation Street and the Arndale shopping mall in Manchester.
Even Miss Piggy tries to wow the business' boss with her charms.
The commercial, which first aired in Nov., was part of a $40 million campaign to celebrate the launch of Warburton's new "Giant Crumpet" range, according to Prolific North.
Independent brand researcher Millward Brown on Friday said consumers had voted it this year's best Christmas commercial, reports the Telegraph.
It beat British grocery giant Sainsbury's, department store John Lewis and online payment company Paypal to the title.
