February 8, 2013 by Staff

The TLC smash Here Comes Honey Boo Boo will return with new episodes this Sunday. The first episode is titled A Very Boo Christmas and will feature Honey Boo Boo’s family during the holiday season.

In addition, viewers will get to see a new look for Honey Boo Boo’s mom, Mama June.

June Shannon has lost over 100 pounds and has dyed her hair blonde. Shannon claims that she has not visited a gym nor changed her diet in order to lose the weight. Shannon made this statement to the Huffington Post…”No, I have not felt no pressure to change. I was blonde about 6 years ago and I wanted to go back to blonde, so I went back blonde, and I loved it. I have lost 115 pounds, but that is because I am on the go. We love fried food, but I lost that weight because we are always doing things.”

TMZ.com says that Shannon credited her extremely busy work schedule for losing over 100 pounds, she also made this statement to TMZ…”I haven’t done any surgeries, no diet pills, never went to the gym. But with the show I have been more active. They have me running around and going to different places, I guess it’s paying off.”

The previous season of Honey Boo Boo averaged 2.3 million viewers per episode. The new “Holladay” episodes start this Sunday at 8pm eastern time on TLC.

Amy Winter, general Manager of the TLC network said…”What you see is what you get and we are excited to share even more of Alana and her family’s unbridled hilarity, sincerity and love with our viewers.”

Reluctant to give away too many details of the Christmas episode, Mama June says that Honey Boo Boo still believes in Santa Claus and can’t wait to see what happens. Neither can we!
