PUBLISHED DEC 14, 2018

The rave for 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: A Midwinter's Tale' started the day Netflix announced the one-off Christmas special episode on November 12. When on December 4, the trailer dropped, excitement among the witching fandom knew no bounds. When the one-hour episode finally streamed on the giant network December 14, the question of 'did it live up to the expectation' was involuntarily circulating. 

The reviews have been on both ends, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it a "delightful continuation" of season one, while Forbes called it "lackluster at best." Meaww's own review said it's a fun watch but the thrill of it is very much downplayed.
