PLL Tuesday: Christmas is Coming..
Many fans were disappointed that there was no Halloween episode this year, unless you count the fan appreciation episode “We Love You to DeAth,” which was all well and good, but let’s be serious– we need MORE.

Hints, clues, and spoilers about the upcoming special episode, “How The ‘A’ Stole Christmas” are running rampant all over the internet. While obviously we would never straight up spoil anything, we do have a few known things we’d like to point out and discuss about this year’s most anticipated episode.

1) It is reported that the episode will be based on the classic Charles Dickens novel, A Christmas Carol. Does this mean the Liars will have to face the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future?

2) Things will be very romantic, especially for Spencer & Toby and Ezra & Aria.

3) Appearances will be made by Mona, Lucas, Jenna, Paige, as well as others.

The biggest news of all in the land of the Liars is that recently, executive producer Marlene King announced that fans will not have to wait until the last moments of the last episode to discover who A is. Since the series has been renewed for a sixth and seventh season, and with half of season five still unaired, we’re likely looking at upwards of sixty more episodes to go until the end. Although it has not been revealed exactly when, we WILL discover A’s identity well before the end of the series. But what does that mean, exactly? How can PLL function without that mystery? Perhaps a new mystery will emerge, or perhaps the remainder of the series, post A-reveal, will rely on suspense surrounding how the Liars will finally get their revenge.

“How The ‘A’ Stole Christmas” airs on Tuesday, December 9 at 8:00 on ABC Family.
