Similar to The Muppet Show and Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock is a musical comedy revolving around a group of anthropomorphic creatures of various origins. The series began in 1983 and was rebooted in 2022 as the Emmy-winning series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock.

In the new special, Fraggles, Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey and Boober are set to make the holiday season sing with a special guest appearance from singer Lele Pons. Pons will sing a special version of the series’ classic song “Our Melody,” along with two more holiday-themed songs.

The synopsis for the special is as follows: “The Fraggles eagerly await the first snow of the season and all the traditions it brings, but when only a single snowflake arrives and Gobo canโ€™t write the yearly holiday song everyone is expecting, the season is thrown off course. For the first time ever, Gobo journeys to the human world โ€” or, as the Fraggles refer to it: Outer Space โ€” to find some unexpected musical inspiration. And in another first, back at the Gorgsโ€™ castle, Junior is overwhelmed by the arrival of a new baby Gorg joining the family. This holiday season, the Fraggles and Gorgs learn that beautiful moments arenโ€™t always perfect โ€” but they can be as unique and memorable as snowflakes.”
