I would think that (disregarding Galavant for the Moment) they would want to fill up as many Sunday's as possible during the Hiatus. Or course, they have to allow for holiday weekends when they expect viewership to be abysmal, and those stupid Awards shows (Sorry, I can't stand the awards shows). But still that would be 1-2 weeks in December, 3 weeks each in Jan and Feb, and possibly 1 week in March. So I would think if you planned on an 8-10 episode arc, or mini-series, that might work.

Another thought would be to have maybe 6 2-hour episodes. I don't know if that would work, but it's a thought. And that's not just for the Nutcracker idea, but just in general.
