'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, A Midwinter's Tale' review: The 'Chilling' is downplayed but you'll enjoy it anyway

'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' season one debut for Halloween was perfect but the one-off Christmas episode did not give us the winter chills the trailer had promised

It was Halloween when 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina' debuted this year, and rightly so, the watch went along with our pumpkin juice. Christmas happens to be another special occasion that calls for another one-off episode of the Netflix hit that has already been renewed for season 2.

Why? Because according to Ambrose Spellman, "Christmas is the best time for ghost stories." The trailer for The Midwinter's Tale gave us a lot of reasons to be spooked about especially the lady ghost in white, which is arguably anyone's nightmare, oh! and even the blinking wax dolls.
