(Yahoo!) - Christmas came early for "Voice" fans, not to mention for Muppets fans, on October 10, when "Voice" coach Cee Lo Green taped his "Cee Lo & Friends" holiday special at Las Vegas's Planet Hollywood resort and brought out some very special friends indeed.  In fact, it was practically a Christmas miracle when a whopping 20 Team Cee Lo contestants, along with the legendary and beloved Muppets, joined Cee Lo onstage for a massive group singalong of "All I Need Is Love," an original track from his forthcoming Christmas album, Cee Lo Green's Magic Moment

And let me tell you, I can't imagine a more magic moment than seeing all my favorite Red Zoners (Cee Lo's current 14 team members from "The Voice" Season 3, plus six illustrious alums from seasons past) getting festive with Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, Animal...and even those crotchety Muppet hecklers Statler & Waldorf, who were stationed in their own balcony inside Planet Hollywood's Showroom theater, grumpily quipping that "Christmas had hit a new Lo."

"Are there any true 'Voice' fans in the audience tonight?" Cee Lo asked at the start of the show, while dressed in a lacquer-shiny, Britney-worthy red vinyl Santa suit that he jokingly claimed he'd purchased at a Vegas S&M store. Revelers cheered in response. "It's the best variety show on TV. Numbers don't lie!" he bragged. Cee Lo then added, "I really wanted to show my commitment [to my 'Voice' contestants]. I really love those guys and what's happening with us. That's what Christmas is all about."
