Christmas… Again?!—Friday, December 3, at 8 p.m. ET on Disney Channel
Rowena “Ro” (Scarlett Estevez) is a high-spirited teenager who is experiencing a lackluster Christmas. She’s not handling her parents’ divorce well. She wants life to be the way it was before and asks a local Santa Claus (Gary Anthongy Williams) for a “do-over” and find herself reliving Christmas day over and over again. Now it’s up to Ro to figure out how to break the strange magical loop and find the true meaning of Christmas.
