Yep, you read that right, butt — Fall Out Boy have teamed up with Kermit the Frog (yes, the actual Muppet legend) for a brand-new festive cover of “It Feels Like Christmas” from The Muppet Christmas Carol 🎅🎶
Patrick Stump’s golden pipes blend way too perfectly with Kermit’s wholesome croak, creating what might just be the most adorably emo Christmas collab in history. The band called it “possibly the greatest adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic story,” and honestly… we’re not arguing. 😎
Originally sung by the Ghost of Christmas Present in the 1992 classic (which, let’s face it, is the best version of A Christmas Carol ever), this new rendition adds a punch of pop-punk energy — all bells, harmonies, and sugar-rush cheer. 🎁🔥
The cover drops just in time for the festive season, giving fans another reason to pull out their black eyeliner and Christmas jumpers. Imagine moshing under the mistletoe while Kermit cheers you on — that’s the holiday spirit, mun! 🎄🤘
👉 Go give it a listen and tell us:
Would you rather have Fall Out Boy or The Electric Mayhem headline your office Christmas party this year? 😅
