Calling all Frozen fans!

"Olaf's Frozen Adventure" is coming straight to your living room. The featurette is making its broadcast television debut Thursday, December 14 at 8 p.m. on ABC Action News. 

Set a reminder because you don't want to miss everyone's favorite snowman and the whole 'Frozen' gang on Thursday night. 

The half-hour special features Olaf and Sven as they team up on a merry mission and Anna and Elsa are preparing to host a celebration for all of Arendelle. The sisters realize they don't have any family traditions of their own, so Olaf sets out to save the day. 

The special is a part of ABC's "25 Days of Christmas" festivities. 

"Olaf's Frozen Adventure" just completed a limited theatrical run in front of Disney Pixar's hit feature "Coco."

Following the special, you can catch Disney Animation's Emmy Award-winning holiday special "Prep & Landing" from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on ABC Action News.
