With the holiday season just around the corner, Apple TV is dropping trailers for two new family-friendly specials: Snoopy Presents: 12 Days of Snoopy, set to premiere November 13, and Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift, arriving December 4. Both tie into ongoing creative partnerships—Peanuts with Apple through 2030, and Jim Henson Company’s Fraggle Rock series continuing its revival on the platform.
Holiday Cheer from Snoopy
12 Days of Snoopy finds the iconic beagle unexpectedly on Santa’s naughty list as Christmas approaches. Feeling misunderstood, Snoopy embarks on a 12-day mission to prove his good behavior, discovering that the holiday spirit goes beyond presents and decorations. This special builds on Apple’s expanded collaboration with Peanuts—already visible through Snoopy-themed Apple Watch faces, Apple TV screensavers, and a new Kid Cue feature that layers Peanuts animations on iPhone Duo’s outer screen to engage kids during photos.
Fraggle Festivities and Lessons in Giving
Fraggle Rock: A Holiday Gift picks up amid holiday preparations in Fraggle Rock. Wembley is honored as Spirit Captain, charged with spreading joy, but things go awry when the Fraggles accidentally take a snow globe from Doc’s workshop. As the festive magic begins to slip away, Wembley must act—return the snow globe, restore holiday cheer, and learn that kindness and helping those in need are the greatest gifts.
This new special joins several recent Fraggle Rock entries on Apple TV: the ongoing TV series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, 2020’s short-form Fraggle Rock: Rock On!, and last year’s winter-themed The First Snow of Fraggle Rock.
Subscribers can get Apple TV for $14.99/month or access it via the Apple One bundle. Beyond these holiday specials, the service features hits like Ted Lasso, Severance, The Morning Show, Shrinking, and Silo.
Analytically, these specials reaffirm Apple TV’s push to deepen its family and nostalgic content in streaming. By expanding both Peanuts and Fraggle Rock, the service taps into established IP with cross-generational appeal—a smart move as competition heats up in streaming. Watch how viewers respond: if these specials gain strong traction, expect more limited-run, seasonally themed drops from beloved franchises in the coming years.
