Get ready for ‘The First Snow of Fraggle Rock’ on Apple TV this holiday season
It’s a brand-new holiday special featuring classic Fraggles, new songs, and a fun Lele Pons cameo.
One of my favorite things about the holidays is when streamers drop something really warm and cozy that feels like a little tradition of its own. And this year, Apple TV is bringing back one of the most joyful corners of kids’ TV. “The First Snow of Fraggle Rock” drops on Friday, Dec. 5, only on Apple TV, and it looks like a really sweet return to the world of Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey, and Boober. The special brings in musical artist Lele Pons for a duet of the classic “Our Melody.” There are a few new holiday songs, and the whole thing leans into that mix of music, heart, and goofiness that made the Fraggles so iconic. Here’s how to watch “The First Snow of Fraggle Rock.”

When will ‘The First Snow of Fraggle Rock’ come on Apple TV?
“The First Snow of Fraggle Rock” premieres Friday, Dec. 5 on Apple TV, and since it’s a one-off holiday special instead of a full season, you’ll get the entire thing right at launch. Apple TV usually drops new titles at 12:01 a.m. ET, so you can expect this one to hit your screen first thing Friday morning.

When the holidays are filled with unexpected adventures and challenges, the Fraggles learn to appreciate each day for being unique and special, like a snowflake.
Why do we recommend Apple TV for watching ‘The First Snow of Fraggle Rock’?
Because it’s the only place you can watch it. “The First Snow of Fraggle Rock” is an Apple TV exclusive, so that’s where the special lives. The service costs $13 per month, and everything is ad-free. If you’ve never tried Apple TV before, new users can take advantage of the seven-day free trial and then see if you want to stick around. And if you want to go deeper into the Fraggle world, both seasons of “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock” stream there too, as well as the original series, “Fraggle Rock.”
Can you watch ‘The First Snow of Fraggle Rock’ for free?
Yep. Apple TV offers a seven-day free trial for new users, so you can watch the holiday special during that trial window totally free. After that, you’ll need a paid subscription to keep streaming. Apple only has one tier, so everything on the service is included for a single monthly price that (IMO) is totally worth it.

Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) is a subscription video streaming service for $14.99 per month, offering a growing slate of original series, films, documentaries, and specials. Unlike other platforms that combine licensed titles with originals, Apple TV is built entirely around exclusive programming, making it the home of critically acclaimed hits such as “Ted Lasso,” “Severance,” “The Morning Show,” and “Silo.” Its lineup continues to expand with award-winning dramas, comedies, family-friendly shows, and blockbuster original films like “CODA,” which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

What is ‘The First Snow of Fraggle Rock’ about?
“The First Snow of Fraggle Rock” brings the Fraggles into a holiday season that doesn’t quite go the way they expect. They’re all waiting for the first snowfall and the traditions that come with it, but only a single snowflake arrives. On top of that, Gobo can’t write the big holiday song everyone looks forward to each year, which sends him on a brand new adventure. For the first time, he heads into the human world, which the Fraggles call Outer Space, to find inspiration.
Over in the Gorgs’ castle, Junior is dealing with something huge of his own. A new baby Gorg joins the family, and he’s completely overwhelmed by the change. The special weaves together all of these little moments about expectations, pressure, and how the best memories aren’t always the perfect ones. It’s got new songs, a guest appearance from Lele Pons, and the same spirit of joy, silliness, and heart that made the original “Fraggle Rock” such a classic.
How can you catch up with ‘Fraggle Rock’ before ‘The First Snow of Fraggle Rock’ premieres?
If you want to dive back into this world before the holiday special drops, both seasons of “Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock” are streaming now on Apple TV. The reboot brings back all the classic characters with updated puppetry, new music, and that same warm, full-hearted tone that made the show so timeless. And if you’re craving even more, Apple TV also has the original series streaming on its platform. Watching those episodes first will make the holiday special hit even harder, especially if you haven’t spent time with the Fraggles in a while.
