Updated on 10/22/2015 at 2:20 PM

Down in Waco, TX, Chip and Joanna Gaines have been hard at work on the third season of their HGTV hit Fixer Upper for many months. It's a busy time for the family, since they're also about to open a new location of their farm-tastic shop, Magnolia Market.

Along with members of the show's production team, Chip and Joanna have been steadily sharing behind-the-scenes looks at what's to come in season three. It's been previously announced that there will be 13 episodes, and that the Gainses hoped the renovation of their store's new location would be part of the show.

We also found out when season three will make its big debut: Dec. 1 at 9 p.m. EST/PST on HGTV. To tide fans over until December, check out the 25 things we can be pretty sure will happen in season three!
