Created by and starring Quinta Brunson, Abbott Elementary follows a group of teachers striving to make a difference at an underfunded elementary school. The show also stars Tyler James Williams, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and William Stanford Davis. With 24 Emmy nominations and 4 wins, it has garnered widespread acclaim.
Abbott Elementary returns on December 4 with a one-hour holiday special, featuring two back-to-back episodes: “Winter Show” and “Winter Break.” At 8 p.m., Barbara (Ralph) is determined to make the school’s first-ever holiday show a success, despite facing some challenges, while Jacob’s (Perfetti) brother arrives in town earlier than expected.
Then, at 8:30 p.m., Melissa (Walter) hosts the Schemmenti family Christmas Eve dinner, going all out to ensure everything is perfect. Meanwhile, Janine (Brunson) and Gregory (Williams) are surprised by an unexpected visitor.
