Which only mean they aren't a frog nor a pig, they're an entirely new species where the male have a frog-like form and female have a pig-like form.

First off, Hank Green, it's The Muppet Christmas Carol. Second, it is the best film version of A Christmas Carol hands down. I will die on this hill. Finally, we pretty much kicked any scientific accuracy to the curb, starting with pretending that Gonzo is Charles Dickens.
Got the most actual quoted lines from the book of any film version, plus you've got all of Dicken's direct-to-reader moralising delivered by Gonzo. And as well as being very faithful to the book, it is a superb film as well.
Michael Caine excels as Scrooge, too. I wouldn't say that he was better than Alastair Sim was in his version - that's a performance that would take some beating - but there's not much in it.

I think you forgot about the Patrick Stewart version.

This is my favorite without muppets. Which means it’s my second favorite.
and like also frogs totally cant speak
You have to lick them first.
I prefer my Dickens to be as dour and melancholy as possible. Which is why I've always liked the George C. Scott version the best myself. Other than sound volume issues with the blaring horns of doom I think it's great. But that's just me.
May be they couldn't have kids because, i don't know, being entirely different species, so they adopted.
It's like how in the Shrek universe, dragons and donkeys are the same species.
Sometimes this happens with dogs though doesn’t it. Maybe they just took it to the extreme for puppets
Of course it's Hank Green who would question it lol. But you're not the only one!
Uh yeah because it's a movie. They couldn't pass up on casting Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy as Bob and Emily Cratchet (what with Miss Piggy's sheer talent and star power) which left them in a bit of a casting bind. Realistically they had to cast pigs and frogs as the Cratchet children instead of searching high and low for talented half-pig half-frog child actors. Even then they went out of their way in casting Kermit's actual nephew Robin the Frog as Tiny Tim and the other child actors (Peter, Miranda, and Melinda) pretty closely resembled their 'parents'.
