Apple TV is getting into the holiday spirit with a new adventure featuring some familiar, furry faces. The streaming service has unveiled the first trailer for Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift, an all-new holiday special from The Jim Henson Company, bringing Wembley, Gobo, Red, Mokey, and Boober back together for a festive story about friendship, kindness, and the joy of giving.

The special will premiere globally on Friday, December 4, 2026, exclusively on Apple TV.

The new holiday adventure puts Wembley in the spotlight after he is appointed Spirit Captain, a role that tasks him with spreading holiday cheer throughout the Rock. However, things take an unexpected turn when the Fraggles accidentally take a treasured snow globe from Doc’s workshop.

With the missing keepsake causing the holiday spirit to fade, Wembley must find the courage to make things right and return the snow globe. Along the way, he discovers that the most meaningful holiday gifts aren’t necessarily things wrapped in pretty paper, but acts of kindness, generosity, and helping someone in need.

Familiar faces return with new holiday music

Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift brings back the beloved characters from the franchise, with an original musical lineup adding to the festive atmosphere.

Tony Award nominee Lilli Cooper returns as Doc, reprising her role while also performing an original song for the special. Tony Award winner Nicole Scherzinger will make a special appearance, contributing her own musical performance.

The production reunites much of the creative team behind the Emmy Award-winning series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. Lisa Henson, Halle Stanford, John Tartaglia, Matt Fusfeld, Alex Cuthbertson, Arnon Milchan, and Yariv Milchan serve as executive producers, while Dave Goelz and Karen Prell are co-executive producers.

Harvey Mason Jr. serves as executive music producer. The special is written by Matt Fusfeld and Alex Cuthbertson, produced by Chris Plourde, co-produced by Tim O’Brien, and directed by John Tartaglia.

Another holiday addition to Apple TV’s family lineup

The new special adds to Apple’s growing collection of family-friendly entertainment, particularly its musical and holiday programming.

The Fraggle Rock franchise already has a home on the platform through Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, the Emmy Award-winning revival that brought the Jim Henson-created characters to a new generation of viewers. The upcoming holiday special gives the franchise another opportunity to bring its music-driven storytelling and familiar characters into the seasonal viewing lineup.

Apple TV also offers other family-focused productions, including The First Snow of Fraggle Rock, Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical, Frog and Toad, Camp Snoopy, and Wonder Pets: In the City.

For longtime fans, A Holiday Gift is another chance to revisit the colorful world of the Fraggles. For younger viewers, it offers a standalone seasonal adventure built around a straightforward message: sometimes the best way to celebrate is by making someone else’s day a little brighter.
