Bob’s Burgers Joins Exclusive Holiday Short Tradition

In a move that further solidifies its position in the world of animated comedy, Bob’s Burgers is set to release an original holiday short, ‘On the Fort Day of Christmas.’

At the Bob’s Burgers San Diego Comic-Con panel, creator and executive producer Loren Bouchard announced the upcoming holiday short, which will premiere exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally in most markets.

‘On the Fort Day of Christmas’ follows the Belcher kids as they face a record-breaking Christmas snowstorm, which leads them to build a record-breaking Christmas snow fort. This marks a significant milestone for the show, as Bob’s Burgers is the third long-running Fox series from 20th TV Animation to create exclusive holiday content for streaming platforms.

While The Simpsons and Family Guy have been releasing exclusive episodes on Disney+ and Hulu, respectively, Bob’s Burgers has been the only series from the group to maintain its traditional broadcast schedule. However, with the release of ‘On the Fort Day of Christmas,’ the show is now joining the ranks of its fellow 20th TV Animation comedies.

The Simpsons has been leading the charge in exclusive streaming content, releasing episodes like ‘Extreme Makeover: Homer Edition’ and ‘Yellow Mirror.’ Family Guy has also been releasing holiday specials, including a Halloween and Christmas special in the last two years.

Bob’s Burgers centers on the working-class Belcher family, who run a seaside New Jersey hamburger restaurant and interact with the eccentric members of their community. The show features a talented voice cast, including H. Jon Benjamin, John Roberts, Kristen Schaal, and Eugene Mirman.

Season 17 of Bob’s Burgers is set to debut on Fox in midseason 2027, with the show also streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S.

The holiday short ‘On the Fort Day of Christmas’ is a significant step forward for Bob’s Burgers, marking the show’s entry into the exclusive holiday content tradition. Fans of the show can look forward to the premiere of the holiday short, which is sure to bring a festive touch to the holiday season.
