In 1983 the late icon Jim Henson introduced the world to Fraggle Rock. The series ran for five seasons ending in 1987 with reruns still airing for years. In 2022 the door to Fraggle Rock opened back up with the new series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock on Apple TV+ that ran for two seasons and a holiday special. Now they are back once again with another new holiday special, The First Snow of Fraggle Rock.

 

Fraggle Rock follows the adventures of a group of cave-dwelling puppet creatures called Fraggles. In this new special, 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 can’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, or as the Fraggles refer to it: Outer Space, to find some unexpected musical inspiration. And in another first, back at the Gorgs’ 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 aren’t always perfect—but they can be as unique and memorable as snowflakes.

 

The special features a cameo appearance by musical artist and internet sensation Lele Pons that includes a duet with Gobo of the classic, beloved Fraggle Rock song “Our Melody,” along with two other holiday numbers. 

 

Be there to celebrate with the gang when The First Snow of Fraggle Rock hits Apple TV+ on December 5th. Until then you can check out the trailer and poster here now from Apple TV and The Jim Henson Company.
