The first season of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina landed on Netflix on October 26 and while there no indication when season two will hit the streaming service, fans will be treated to an extra chilling holiday special.

Alongside Netflix’s slate of holiday-themed films, fans will be treated to Christmas-themed specials including Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: A Midwinter’s Tale. The news was announced by creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa in a tweet on Monday.

The official synopsis of the special reads: “The Church of Night, like all covens, celebrates the Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year — when families gather together around the Yule Fire to sing pagan carols, tell ghost stories and huddle against the supernatural creatures that come out to cause mischief. Since the Winter Solstice is when the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest, it’s the perfect time to conduct a séance — which Sabrina convenes, to try and contact her mother. But the holidays are also a time for guests and visitors — both welcome and unwelcome — and you never know what might come down the chimney.”

The stream giant’s holiday reel trailer gives a sneak peek of Sabrina’s winter episode, with her new platinum blonde do, which means that the episode definitely takes place after the events of the first season.

Sabrina‘s holiday special drops December 14.

Check out the trailer below!

Joining the Spellmans is Homeland alum Miranda Otto as Aunt Zelda. This casting news comes just a few days after Wonder Woman actress Lucy Davis was cast as Aunt Hilda. Otto will be taking on the role from Beth Broderick on the sitcom that aired from 1996-2003.

With a Brit cast as Sabrina’s cooky aunt and an Aussie cast as her disciplinarian aunt, the teenage witch is all set to face the wicked challenges of life as a half witch and half mortal.

Occupying the titular role is Mad Men’s Kiernan Shipka. Unlike the original, the reboot is a dark coming-of-age story with Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature.

Twenty hour-long episodes have been ordered, though no premiere date has been set.

Melissa,who portrayed the role of Sabrina Spellman in the original series, opened up about Archie Comics’ upcoming reboot The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina starring Kiernan Shipka.

Melissa spoke with E! News saying that while she’s “not involved in the new Sabrina,” she looks forward to tuning to what she calls a “totally different show.”

“I think what they’re doing is smart, doing the darker version. I think it’s going to be more like Buffy the Vampire Slayer than the Sabrina that most people know.”

With Melissa finding it hard to watch old episodes of Sabrina, saying that “therapy” might be in order before she could do so, perhaps she will enjoy watching the reboot for now!

“We have some of the best fans in the world,” Hart told ET. “People feel like … we were in their living room’s every Friday night, or their college dorm room, you know, I feel like people, when they say that they grew up with us, that’s, like, the best compliment we can get.”

“I get called ‘Aunt Hilda’ every day and have since 1996, and I will answer to it happily,” Rhea added.

It’s been more than 2 decades since the series first premiered, and almost 15 years since it ended, but fans’ interest in the series never fades. In fact, The CW is preparing a reboot called The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina as a buddy series for its current Archie Comics property, Riverdale. Sadly, that means a proper Sabrina revival is not possible, considering Hart and her mother no longer own the rights to the character.

“I think we would do it in a heartbeat if we could,” Broderick shared. “We’re family. I was really excited just to come and see these girls.”

“If we could go back to the set tomorrow, I would do it,” Hart added.

Rhea confessed she’s “annoyed” a new version of Sabrina is coming to the small screen, admitting she fears for her character’s legacy, calling the show “a bummer.”

“If they make Aunt Hilda mean, and, like, psycho?” she said. “It’s, like, dark!”

According to Hart, The CW’s version will be a “more millennial soap opera,” so more like Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and less Bewitched, which Bakay dubs “bulls**t.” Moon Frye and Donovan also hope the reboot doesn’t stain the original series’ legacy.

“Our version was family friendly,” Donovan explained. “It’s magical, it’s female driven. Everybody can watch it. It’s smart and it’s witty, and I feel really good about that. I keep saying that, but I really mean it.”

“I think we all in the world need some magic right now,” Moon Frye agreed.

Creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has only confirmed so far two original characters for the reboot, Sabrina and her love team, Harvey.

“I can’t wait to see it,” Richert shared. “It’s gonna be a completely different thing, and I can’t wait to see the twist and how it takes on its own life. I can’t wait to watch it.”

Richert would have a guest spot on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, saying he would love to play into the darker world.

“I think I could be a scary murderer at this point,” he said, noting his bald head and goatee which is a big departure from his Harvey’s floppy long hair.

Broderick and Hart are open to joining the reboot, though Hart thinks it might be “weird.”

“Who am I going to play?” she wondered. “I don’t know … I played the aunts on the animated series, my sister played Sabrina, ’cause it was a prequel. So, I played the aunts on that with, like, you know, voices, but like, I don’t know. I guess, I guess. Never say never, but I’m not expecting it.”

“We just wish them well,” Broderick said. “Good luck. I hope it works out for them. We love the character, we love the show, we love the whole spirit of it, and I wish them well.”

The new spinoff is in the works by CW and WB. The two are developing The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina as a witch-centric Riverdale spinoff.

Unlike the ABC sitcom which ran from 1996-2003 starring Melissa Joan Hart, The Chilling Adventures is said to be a much darker take on the character. It will be a dark coming-of-age story centering on the occult and of course, witchcraft. This adaptation will focus on Sabrina trying to reconcile her dual nature while standing against the evil forces that threaten basically everyone.

The series is being eyed for the 2018-2019 season as a companion to Riverdale. Robert Aguirre-Sacasa will serve as both executive producer and writer, alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Jon Goldwater, and Lee Toland Krieger, who is set to direct should the project move forward.
