How will The Vampire Diaries celebrate the holidays next month? With milk, stockings and general merriment, of course.

Just kidding! With what The CW is describing as "chaos and violence."

The network has released the official synopsis for "O Come, All Ye Faithful," the show's December 13 installment and the final outing of 2012. Consider yourself spoiler warned, specifically regarding certain characters that are still around, and read on for the description:

As a Winter Wonderland-themed party fills the streets of Mystic Falls, Stefan and Caroline find themselves at odds with Tyler over his plans for Klaus and his hybrids. 

When Caroline proposes a solution to their problem, Hayley finds a dramatic way to make it clear that she is not on board.  Later, Klaus makes a discovery that leads to chaos and violence. 

Meanwhile, Elena and Damon retreat to the Gilbert Lake House to help Jeremy conquer some dangerous inner demons with the help of Bonnie and Professor Shane, who reveals a piece of ancient history that leaves them all speechless.
