New 'Bob's Burgers' Holiday Short to Debut on Hulu This Year

A festive treat awaits enthusiasts of "Bob's Burgers," as an exclusive Christmas-themed short film, "On the Fort Day of Christmas," is slated for release on Hulu and Disney+ in various regions worldwide later this year. This much-anticipated special delves into the Belcher children's escapades during an unprecedented Christmas snowstorm, promising a blend of humor and holiday cheer characteristic of the beloved animated series.

Jon Benjamin (Bob Belcher), John Roberts (Linda Belcher), Kristen Schaal (Louise Belcher), Eugene Mirman (Gene Belcher), and Dan Mintz (Tina Belcher), along with supervising director Bernard Derriman.

As the series continues to captivate audiences, "Bob's Burgers" is also gearing up for its seventeenth season, scheduled to return to Fox in early 2027, with episodes available for streaming the next day on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. The ongoing success of the show is a testament to the creative vision of Loren Bouchard and the dedicated team of executive producers, including Nora Smith, Dan Fybel, Rich Rinaldi, Jon Schroeder, Steven Davis, Scott Jacobson, Holly Schlesinger, Wendy Molyneux, Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin, and Janelle Momary-Neely, building upon the foundation co-developed by Jim Dauterive.

This upcoming holiday short exemplifies the enduring appeal and creative evolution of "Bob's Burgers," reinforcing its status as a cherished animated series that consistently delivers heartfelt and entertaining content to its global fanbase. The continuous development of new narratives and formats not only expands the show's universe but also provides fresh opportunities for viewers to engage with the Belcher family's unique adventures, fostering a sense of joy and community during the festive season and beyond.
