Waiting for the first snow is a winter tradition — but what if only a single snowflake arrives?
That’s what happens in The First Snow of Fraggle Rock, the new holiday special arriving Friday on Apple TV, which finds Gobo (John Tartaglia) venturing to “Outer Space” — aka the human world — to find some wintry inspiration to write his annual holiday song.
Before Friday’s premiere, Billboard Family is premiering the joyous original song “Can You Feel It” from the special, which brings all the Fraggles — Gobo, Red, Wembley, Mokey, Boober and more — together to sing about the things that make them merry. “It’s the perfect time of year/ Celebrate and spread the cheer/ Can you feel it?” they all sing in the chorus.
Watch the exclusive clip below:
Elsewhere in the new special, from the team behind the Emmy-winning Apple TV series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, Venezuelan-American singer and social superstar Lele Pons duets with Gobo on the classic Fraggle Rock song “Our Melody.” The First Snow of Fraggle Rock—Apple Original Soundtrack — a four-song EP that includes “Can You Feel It?,” two versions of “Our Melody,” and “Face Facts, Pack Snacks, Make Tracks” — will arrive digitally this Friday via Lakeshore Records.
The original Fraggle Rock ran for almost 100 episodes from 1983 to 1987, with the spin-off Back to the Rock series premiering on Apple TV in 2022.
