In the scene where Marley and Marley visit Scrooge, they mention children from the orphanage having teddy bears. This wouldn't have happened in Victorian Britain as teddy bears weren't invented until the early 20th century. [It was only named 'the teddy bear' in the 20th Century (Teddy Roosevelt) but it did exist in Victorian times, but referred to as a stuffed toy.]
Mistakes
When Rizzo falls down the chimney lands on the goose at Bob Cratchit's house, he burns his feet. When he is shown next to Gonzo, his feet are smoking. If you look closely, you can see the holes in the puppet's feet where the smoke comes out. See more...
Trivia
At the end of the film when Scrooge is going round being nice to everyone, as he's on his way to the Cratchit's house, we see in the background a shop called "Mickelwhite's." This is Michael Caine's real surname. See more...

At the end when Scrooge brings the turkey to the Crachet's house, the turkey is raw. But moments later when they all sit at the table it is already cooked. [Actually it isn't moments later, we see Scrooge and all the Muppets enter the house, then there is a shot of outside where Gonzo/Dickens tells us what happens after this, then when the camera cuts back into the house everyone is settled at the table and some of the people who were first there have left, so we know at least some time has passed, possibly enough time to cook the turkey.]
