Dance your cares away, it’s holiday time down in Fraggle Rock! Apple TV just released the first trailer for Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift, an all new holiday special from The Jim Henson Company premiering worldwide on Friday, December 4, 2026.
What Is Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift About?
Wembley gets a very important job this year: he is named Spirit Captain, in charge of spreading holiday cheer all across the Rock. But when the Fraggles accidentally take a cherished snow globe from Doc’s workshop, the holiday spirit starts to fade. Now Wembley has to find the courage to return it and save the season.
Like the best Fraggle stories, it comes with a sweet message: kindness, giving and helping someone in need are the true gifts of the holidays.
Who Is in the Holiday Special?
- The Fraggles: Wembley, Gobo, Red, Mokey and Boober are all back.
- Lilli Cooper: The Tony nominee returns as Doc and performs an original song.
- Nicole Scherzinger: The Tony winner makes a special appearance with her own musical performance.
And of course, there will be plenty of festive new songs. Executive music producer Harvey Mason Jr. is back to make sure the music is as merry as ever.
The Team Behind the Special
Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift comes from the team behind the Emmy Award winning series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. John Tartaglia directs, and Matt Fusfeld and Alex Cuthbertson wrote the special. Longtime Henson performers Dave Goelz and Karen Prell, who have been with the Fraggles since the original series, serve as co-executive producers alongside executive producer Lisa Henson.
Muppet fans will know Dave Goelz as the original performer of Gonzo, so this special has a little Muppet magic built right in.
