Jack Donaghy is no longer looking forward to the holidays.

The character's mother, played by Tony Award-winner Elaine Stritch (pictured), will return for the sitcom's December 11 episode. It's titled "Christmas Special."

Expect a series of annoyed, anger-filled, hilarious 30 Rock quotes to emanate from Jack as a result, as the episode will center around his frustration when plans for a dream holiday vacation away from his mom fall through. And who will face the brunt of this annoyance?

Liz Lemon and the TGS staff, of course.
