‘The Vampire Diaries’ season 6, episode 10 video: Candice Accola and holiday cheer

While there may be some dark moments ahead on “The Vampire Diaries” Thursday night, including a possible character death, we are pleased right now to report that there will at least be a temporary calm before the storm when it comes to Caroline and Christmas.

We know that the character has loved the holiday for the longest time, but also that some of her feelings have changed due to her being unable to enter Mystic Falls again. Luckily, she has a great mom! In the sneak peek video below (via “Entertainment Tonight“), Candice Accola’s character receives a visit from none other than Sheriff Forbes, who wants to help her decorate. Not only that, but she has brought a little bit of help in the form of Stefan.

Is Caroline going to be thrilled to see him again? We don’t quite know if we would say that, but she is going to at least warm up to him ever so slightly. Think of this as a step in the right direction, even if we are not talking about a major leap here by any means.

There will be more news episodes of “The Vampire Diaries” coming up in January, so don’t worry too much about the hiatus being too terribly long. If you were going to worry about anything, what we would say is that there is a reason to be cautious over a possible death. The show has been building towards something, and it will be significant. We just hope that it does not rock the world of the show forever.
