Walmart has unveiled a new holiday advertising campaign titled “A Who Knew Carol,” created in partnership with Disney and The Muppets Studio. The initiative is not a sequel to the 1992 film but rather a reimagined commercial that recreates the iconic opening song from the original movie. Walton Goggins stars as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside familiar characters such as Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie Bear. The narrative features three new spirits representing different aspects of holiday shopping, including gift ideas and Black Friday savings. Additional cast members include Rizzo the Rat, Pepe the King Prawn, and Stephanie Beatriz in a supporting role. Statler and Waldorf return as ghostly figures in the production. More content is scheduled to be released throughout the holiday season on Walmart’s official channels.
