Today, Apple TV debuted the trailer for the all-new holiday special “Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift,” premiering globally Friday, December 4. The joyful special reunites audiences with beloved Fraggles Wembley, Gobo, Red, Mokey and Boober for a festive new adventure filled with holiday magic, friendship and new musical numbers. Tony Award nominee Lilli Cooper returns as Doc and performs an original song, while Tony Award winner Nicole Scherzinger makes a special appearance with her own musical performance.
In this all-new holiday special, Wembley is named Spirit Captain and sets out to spread cheer throughout the Rock. But when the Fraggles unknowingly take a cherished snow globe from Doc’s workshop, the holiday spirit begins to fade. Wembley must find the courage to return it, learning that kindness, giving and helping someone in need are the true gifts of the holidays.
