The Fraggles are getting in the festive spirit! Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock - Night of the Lights holiday special is set to land later this week and, to get us in the mood, a trailer has dropped. 

The special episode will premiere on Friday, 18th November on Apple TV+, and will feature all of our favourite characters, including Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey, and Boober, as well as Uncle “Travelling” Matt and some new Fraggle friends.

The show’s synopsis reads: “It’s the Night of the Lights, the most Fraggily holiday of the year, and the Rock is filled with songs and cheer. When Jamdolin encourages Wembley to make a special wish, the Fraggles head out on an adventure to find the brightest light and, maybe, the true meaning of the holiday.”

The adventures that the Fraggles go on will see them discover the magic that happens when we celebrate and care for our interconnected world.

The very upbeat trailer opens with Uncle “Travelling” Matt falling through a chimney, and declaring “Happy Night of the Lights!” The remainder of the 50-second trailer shows just the kind of musical cheer that we can expect from the special.

The special features the voices of Dave Goelz, Daveed Diggs, Cynthia Erivo, Ed Helms, Patti LaBelle, and Kenan Thompson.
