The First Snow of Fraggle Rock

Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey and Boober Fraggle are back for the holiday season! Apple TV announced the all-new holiday special The First Snow of Fraggle Rock, to premiere globally on Friday, December 5. The special features a cameo appearance by musical artist and internet sensation Lele Pons that includes a harmonious duet of the classic, beloved Fraggle Rock song "Our Melody" with Gobo, along with two other holiday numbers.

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.
