‘Abbott Elementary’ Gears Up for a Schemmenti Family Christmas in First Look (PHOTOS)
Abbott Elementary is gearing up for the holiday season as the ABC comedy prepares to deliver a festive hourlong event on Wednesday, December 4, and the network is teasing the fun with all-new photos.
The two-part program features the episodes “Winter Show” and “Winter Break” which will feature some celebratory moments within the halls of the titular school as well as at home. In “Winter Show,” Barbara (Sheryl Lee Ralph) is determined to make Abbott’s first-ever holiday show a success, and she’s teaming up with an unlikely source if the photos are any indication.
