Once Upon a Time is about to get festive This just in from the Enchanted Forest – a fifteenth hour is being added to the ongoing, and this is a VERY special case! Once will be getting a holiday special on Christmas week, following the second episode, which is slated for release this coming Wednesday.

The episode is titled "That Time of Year", a reference to one of the songs from Olaf's Frozen Adventure. It's pretty fitting – Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff will all be returning to the series as Arendelle takes part in the United Realms' first holiday.

It will boast multiple returning characters in addition to the Frozen cast, including several special guests who aren't confirmed to be appearing in the regular season. The episode will be set before the premiere episode, which means that none of the newcomers will be appearing.

According to the synopsis, "Regina is preparing for the first holiday season in the United Realms and invites everyone to a grand holiday ball. But a freak blizzard strikes, putting more than just the ball at risk."

We will be recapping the holiday episode the same way we've recapped episodes so far this season.
