absolutely fabulous christmas specialEdina, darling, you are looking fabulous. 'Ab Fab' fans, brace yourselves, because Edina and Patsy, the dynamic drunkard duo, are coming back -- just in time for the holidays.

'Absolutely Fabulous,' the cult hit series written and created by star Jennifer Saunders, debuted in 1992 in the UK before ending in 1996 and reviving itself in 2001 with two new seasons. Now Saunders and Joanna Lumley, who plays Edina's hard-partying sidekick, are back with three new 'Ab Fab' specials, including a much-anticipated three-part Christmas special.

The first preview for the 'Ab Fab' Christmas special was recently released, and in true Edina fashion, the public relations professional is seemingly up-to-date on all things web 2.0. She tweets, blogs about her favorite cheese and even vlogs. Her bumbling assistant Bubble even has an iPad to help Edina update all of her social media accounts.

Sadly, there's no sign of our darling Patsy in this minute-long clip, but we do get a glimpse of Mrs. M.

With an all-denim outfit like that, we can't wait to see what kind of trouble Edina and Patsy get into this time around.

The Christmas special is set to air in December on BBC. There's no word on whether the special will air in the US. In the past, the series has aired in the US on Comedy Central, PBS, Oxygen, BBC America and Logo. Watch the clip below.
