This show's midseason finale consists of two back-to-back episodes tonight — so no new Dracula. Here's what's up in the special Christmas twofer:
COLD BLOODED - A CRIME WAVE BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO AN URBAN LEGEND - ALEXIS DENISOF GUEST STARS — As a deadly crime spree begins to surface, a century-old urban legend takes shape in Portland's sewers and becomes Nick's (David Giuntoli) latest case. In Europe, Adalind (Claire Coffee) meets Prince Viktor (guest star Alexis Denisof) , who's come to bring those responsible for his cousin Eric's demise to justice. Meanwhile, Captain Renard (Sasha Roiz) responds to the recent attempt on his life. TWELVE DAYS OF KRAMPUS - A DARK JUSTICE DESCENDS ON PORTLAND AS THE CHRISTMAS SEASON BEGINS — After a string of delinquent teens go missing, an old Wesen tale of an evil Santa who brings more than just a lump of coal may be the prime suspect. The investigation intensifies as Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) take things a little too far. Meanwhile, Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) enlists Juliet (Bitsie Tulloch) to surprise Rosalee (Bree Turner) for their first Christmas together with unintended results. Elsewhere, Captain Renard's (Sasha Roiz) tour of Europe brings him closer to tracking down Adalind (Claire Coffee).

And this is just a straight-up season finale, not a midseason finale. In "The Lighthouse," "Audrey [is] desperate to track down William in order to sever their ethereal connection."

Get ready for some intense sporting action:

Just as the Cutie Mark Crusaders find their rhythm, Diamond Tiara's taunting becomes too much to handle and Scootaloo begins to doubt herself and her team
Atlantis (9 PM, BBC America):
Yep, it's Three Men and a Baby: "While hunting in the mountains, the boys stumble across an abandoned baby. Jason refuses to leave the child to die, but this charitable act has far reaching implications. With their own lives now on the line as well as the child's, it seems the trio may well pay the ultimate price for interfering with fate…"\
A Snow Globe Christmas (10 PM, Lifetime):
Yet another fantasy-tinged holiday TV movie, with a distinct "Sweet Home Alabama" vibe.

Another midseason finale, and the last new episode until mid-February — but we know nada about this episode, at this point.
All I Want for Christmas (9 PM, ION):
An uptight business woman (are you noticing a theme to these holiday TV movies) is told she needs to listen to others more. And then one of Santa's helpers gives her a gift — she can hear the unspoken thoughts of anyone she meets. So, basically What Women Want without the gender-specific telepathy. As is usual in these things, the tough, cynical business exec will learn major sensitivity by the time two hours are up.
Witches of East End (10 PM, Lifetime):
The season finale, appropriately titled, "Oh, What a World!" Just how wicked will this swan-song get? Here are the deets: "Season 1 ends with Freya's wedding day. Meanwhile, Joanna and Wendy discover the identity of the shifter; and Mike takes dangerous measures to complete his plan when Ingrid uncovers some unnerving details about him."
