The holiday season is coming to Bikini Bottom in “Merry Christmas, Mr. Plankton,” a new hour-long “SpongeBob SquarePants” special. It airs Friday, Nov. 27, on Nickelodeon and streams the same day on Paramount+.
In the episode, SpongeBob, Mr. Krabs and an unlikely group of friends must team up to save Christmas after Plankton takes over the North Pole. Lewis Black guest stars as Santa.
The special airs from 5 to 6 p.m. ET/PT on Nickelodeon. Viewers can also stream it on Paramount+ beginning Nov. 27.
A new episode of “The Patrick Star Show” follows right after the special. In “Snowbound! A Star Family Christmas,” the Stars share Christmas stories while snowbound at home. It airs from 6 to 6:30 p.m. ET/PT on Nickelodeon.
The special joins the SpongeBob content available on Paramount+. That includes theatrical releases such as “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants,” along with “The Patrick Star Show,” “Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years” and a 15-season catalog of the original “SpongeBob SquarePants” series.
“SpongeBob SquarePants” launched July 17, 1999. It was created by Stephen Hillenburg and is produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, California. The series follows the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurable optimist and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends.
The franchise has grown to include theatrical releases, consumer products and a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical. It is one of the most widely distributed properties in Paramount history, seen in more than 180 markets and translated into more than 30 languages. It averages more than 90 million total viewers every quarter.
