If you can’t get enough of Shrek, you can catch the green ogre next holiday season on television.

Reuters reports that the half an hour animated Christmas shorts starring Shrek will air next December on television. The special is entitled “Shrek the Halls” and will feature the voices of the original film actors – Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas. The special will air on ABC.

“Family classics are a cornerstone of our brand, and ‘Shrek the Halls’ will provide warm memories year after year and be a great addition to our library of holiday favorites,” Stephen McPherson, ABC Entertainment president, said.

The special will pick up where the third movie, set to open in theatres next May, leaves off and will have the same sensibility of the films.
