Hold onto your jingle bells!
As families prepare for the holiday home stretch this year, Nickelodeon is offering Animation Magazine readers a delightfully creepy Christmas clip pulled from the new multimedia animated episode of The Patrick Star Show — “Squidina’s Holidaze Special!”
Premiering on Monday, December 2 at 5:30 p.m. on Nickelodeon, the special episode is anchored on Squidina’s mission to direct her school holiday play after brother Patrick mangles the script.
The exclusive clip showcases a stop-motion segment (courtesy of frequent SpongeBob Universe collaborators Screen Novelties), in which an appropriately Scrooge-like Dr. Plankenstein (a.k.a. Plankton, voiced by Mr. Lawrence) and his minions SpongeMonster (Tom Kenny) and Pat-gor (Bill Fagerbakke) bring the spirit of Christmas to life!
Ahead of “Squidina’s Holidaze Special,” fans can tune into the new SpongeBob SquarePants holiday treat, “SpongeBob & Sandy’s Country Christmas” on Monday, Dec. 2 at 5 p.m. on Nickelodeon (and streaming on Paramount+). In this festive misadventure, When one of Sandy’s experiments goes awry, the Cheeks family team up to save Christmas in Bikini Bottom.
Nickelodeon also partnered with Los Angeles-based Screen Novelties to produce this fully stop-motion animated event. This marks the third such special they have partnered on, following SpongeBob SquarePants: It’s a SpongeBob Christmas! (Dec. 2012), and SpongeBob SquarePants: The Legend of Boo-Kini Bottom (Oct. 2017).
