The Disney+ series’ ninth and final episode will premiere this Friday and the show is, by all accounts, unlikely to receive a second season.

When the idea for this feature was first proposed, the angle was “Stephen King stories set at Christmas.” Much to my surprise, however, and despite our best efforts, we were not able to find a story by the master that was set specifically during the holidays or that pertained to them in some meaningful way (feel free to correct us, by the way, if you know of one).
