"Nov 23rd is Turkey day (Thanksgiving)," Justin wrote on the social media site. "Nov 24th - date night with Branch & Poppy. @Trolls #TrollsHolidays is premiering Friday, Nov. 24 on @NBC."

In a video posted on Twitter, Anna's character Poppy convinces Branch to stage a holiday for their former enemies the Bergens.

"I decided the Bergens need a new holiday and nobody knows holidays better than us," Poppy says. "We'll just give them one of ours."

An accompanying soundtrack, titled Trolls Holiday, will also be released later this month (Oct17). Justin, Anna, and their castmates will be featured on the seven-song album.

Meanwhile, Amanda Leighton, Skylar Astin, and Ron Funches will star in animated series Trolls: The Beat Goes On, which picks up after the events of the Trolls movie. It will premiere on streaming service Netflix in January (18).

And Trolls 2, which will star Timberlake and Kendrick, will hit theatres in 2020.
