One Direction Announce TV Special, Special Live Performance in Orlando

For the past three or so Christmases in a row, we've begged Santa to bring us the boys of One Direction. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning and finding a Zayn Malik-shaped box beneath your tree that actually contains Zayn Malik? So far, Santa has yet to deliver (and we've been really good all year, we swear). But it looks like the 1D guys may have heard our pleas, anyway, as they've decided to give us a different kind of Christmas gift -- their very own TV special!

That's right, Directioners. On Dec. 23 from 8-9PM ET on NBC, our favorite quintet will be airing their very own primetime special. We have no idea what it will entail, but if it's anything like 1D Day -- a day that will forever live in Directioner infamy -- we know it'll be good.

Of course, that's not all because -- as we've come to know and love -- One Direction never stop at just one surprise. It looks like the boys have teamed up with NBCUniversal in order to promote their upcoming album 'Four.' Although 'Four' comes out on Nov. 17, they'll be celebrating a day later (Nov. 18) at Universal Orlando Resort's CityWalk by holding a private performance at the Universal Studios Florida Music Plaza stage. If you're a fan visiting Universal Orlando Resort on either Nov. 17 or 18, they'll also have a specially-themed 'Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit' roller coaster that will be One Direction themed, featuring 1D music and a 1D version of the 'Universal Cinematic Spectacular' night show. Someone book us a flight, pronto.

'Four' comes out on Nov. 17, but you can preorder the album here, and be sure to tune in for the 1D TV special on Dec. 23! Until then, we'll just continue to quietly choke back sobs as we quietly sing 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' to our Harry Styles cardboard cutout.
