This ‘baffling’ take on ‘A Christmas Carol’ is a surprise HBO sensation

Ready or not, Christmas season is here, and the holiday streaming offerings are piling up. HBO Max in particular is quickly taking the lead on seasonal classics, with yet another Christmas offering trending in the U.S. today. And this time, it’s one perfect for the kids — for the most part.

A Sesame Street Christmas Carol has entered HBO Max’s top 10 movies list in the U.S. today, rounding out a collection already packed with three other Christmas flicks, FlixPatrol reports. Originally developed as a made-for-DVD movie, this 2006 take on A Christmas Carol twists the Charles Dickens classic and takes it into a far less intense direction. Instead of threatening fire and brimstone, A Sesame Street Christmas Carol follows Oscar the Grouch as he learns about what his fellow Sesame Street residents did, are doing, and will be doing on the holiday. By the end, Oscar pretty much still hates Christmas, but he does figure out a few things he can like about the holiday, such as the fact that Christmas is over on the 26th.
