It's not even a week since Thanksgiving, but Christmas special season is well underway on ABC. The network aired the classic Charlie Brown Christmas on Tuesday, and tonight brings our first look at the newest animated holiday special, Shrek the Halls.
The whole original Shrek gang — including Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz — is around for this half-hour special, which finds Shrek struggling to get into the holiday spirit. Who would have known Shrek wasn't much for decked halls and mistletoe? Of course, Donkey, Puss in Boots and the rest of the clan will rally the silly ogre into yuletide shape before the end of the half-hour. Maybe this will turn out to be a holiday classic — but even if it's not, we can recover by watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas immediately after. (Pushing Daisies follows at 9 p.m., while Private Practice takes the night off.)
Will you be tuning in for Shrek's take on the Christmas season? You can check out a preview of the special on ABC's site.

yay shrek!
I'm actually looking forward to this. It'll be nice to have a good round of Christmas specials before my weekly dose of Pushing Daisies. Anything to help me get in the spirit- ever since I moved to the land of eternal sunshine I find it hard to sing Christmas carols while cruising with my windows down in 70 degree weather.
