NEW YORK (AP) — Get ready for some Honey Boo Boo holidays.

The TLC network said Wednesday that it has ordered Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas specials focusing on its seven-year-old breakout star, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson. The series airs its 10th and final episode of its debut season on Wednesday.

The show centers around Thompson, her mother June Shannon and their rural Georgia family and has been a breakout hit for the cable network. Thompson's outgoing personality and catchphrases like "A dolla makes me holla" made her a star, although some critics suggest the show mocks small-town Southern life.

TLC has also ordered additional episodes of the series to air next spring.

      Arthur How is this show going to work long term... It focuses so much on the "redneck" aspect of this family...they're not going to be living this way much longer with the serious amount of money they must (or soon will) be making...

    THe early twentith century had Shirley Temple. Little girls all over the world wanted to be like her. She went on to become an Ambassidor. Makes me wonder if seeing Honey Boo Boo will to aspire to such greatness AND if other little girls see the complete irony of being popular because your life and family is a circus act.
