A Puppet Christmas Carol… Sort Of is a 15-minute, family-friendly Christmas puppet skit filled with laughter, music, and heart. Perfect for Sunday schools, children’s ministries, and Christmas programs, this lighthearted script follows four silly puppets as they attempt—and repeatedly fail—to perform a traditional Christmas carol.

With mixed-up lyrics, confused storytelling, and hilarious interruptions, the puppets accidentally turn the performance into chaos. One puppet thinks the wise men were a marching band, another keeps singing Mother’s Day songs, and another insists Christmas might involve brooms. Through it all, the patient Leader Puppet gently guides the group back to the real meaning of Christmas.

As the skit unfolds, humor transforms into a touching reminder that Christmas isn’t about perfect singing or flawless performances—it’s about Jesus. Children and adults alike will laugh while also learning timeless truths about joy, worship, and celebrating Christ at Christmas.
