[VD Spoilers] Synopsis For Season 6 Midseason Finale: "Christmas Through Your Eyes"

Christmas is supposed to be a cheerful time... but not when you’re on The Vampire Diaries. The CW just released the synopsis for the Season 6 midseason finale — Season 6, Episode 10 (“Christmas Through Your Eyes”) — and it sounds pretty dismal for every single person.

From the sound of things, Bonnie (Kat Graham) is still unable to get home to her friends, and Caroline (Candice Accola) will also be down in the dumps because she can’t return to the magic-free Mystic Falls. Luckily for Caroline, however, her mom (Marguerite MacIntyre) is going to bring the holidays to her oversized Whitmore College dorm. We’re a bit freaked out that Stefan (Paul Wesley) will be revealing some “devastating” news to Caroline, though.

What really has us worried is that Jo (Jodi Lyn O’Keefe) has gone missing and it’s up to Alaric (Matt Davis), Elena (Nina Dobrev), and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) to investigate her whereabouts. Now that we know a lot more about the Gemini Coven, we’re worried what might go down — especially since this is a huge episode.

Elsewhere in the episode, Tyler (Michael Trevino) has a “risky plan” that could help Liv (Penelope Mitchell) and Luke (Chris Brochu), while Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Matt (Zach Roerig) are looking to take Enzo (Michael Malarkey) down. 

Executive producer Julie Plec teased in a TV Line report that the mid-season finale episode will have some "big, big, big chapter-ending moves" at the ending that will "change a lot for everyone."

Check out the synopsis for the 10th episode:

With the holidays approaching, Bonnie attempts to replicate her favorite traditions, while reminiscing about happier times with her friends. Not able to return home to Mystic Falls for her favorite time of the year, Caroline is surprised when Sheriff Forbes brings the holidays to her at Whitmore College. Meanwhile, after discovering that Jo has gone missing, Alaric turns to Damon and Elena for help, while Liv and Luke find themselves at odds when Tyler approaches them with a risky plan. Elsewhere, Jeremy helps Matt carry out a plan to take down Enzo but grows concerned when Matt takes things too far. Lastly, Stefan is forced to break some devastating news to Caroline.

The Vampire Diaries Season 6 mid-season finale titled "Christmas Through Your Eyes" is scheduled to air on Thursday night, Dec. 11, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

[Interviews] Nina Dobrev Talks Holiday Plans and Reveals She Just Bought a House in LA

Nina Dobrev and her on-screen persona, Elena Gilbert, have something a common—a love of family!

The Vampire Diaries star opened up about what she is most excited for this holiday season, and, spoiler alert! It involves family, friends and fire! The Bulgarian beauty can't always make it back home, so she is going to soak up all the time she can get with her fam.

"I'm really excited and looking forward to spending time with my family over the holidays. Since we don't get to see each other very much during the year I love to take full advantage of the time we get to spend together," she said.

Unlike her vampire character on the CW show, Nina doesn't have to wear a ring in order to be in the sun, which works out for her because while she is at home she'll be spending a lot of time in it this winter!

"It's going to be a great time filled with days on the slopes snowboarding with my brother and spending nights around the fireplace with my family hopefully making lots of s'mores :)."

Although she says she can't always make it back home to see her family, Nina has her new home to look forward to! The 25-year-old year old actress just purchased a new house in L.A. where she is looking forward to entertaining her friends.

"One of my favorite things to do is host a girls night where my girlfriends and I can get together and come together in the kitchen, test out new recipes and just enjoy each others company," she said. "I also love throwing a good game night with running charades and all! I'm especially excited to host these dinner and game nights once I've finished decorating my home, and after attending the new Restoration Hardware RH Atlanta Gallery store opening I have so many ideas."

The A-list store opening must have been a hotspot for creativity, as the new RH Atlanta Gallery boasts 70,000 square feet and six stories of stylish furniture vignettes, a rooftop garden and conservatory, and endless options for creating a chic abode.

The party, which was also attended by best-selling Southern authors Emily Giffin and Kathryn Stockett, had Cipriani bellinis flowing while RH Music's British singer songwriter Edei and rock and soul sisters Larkin Poe performed, with DJ Chelsea Leyland spinning between sets.
