Overview
- Creator Loren Bouchard and principal cast members announced the new short at the Bob’s Burgers panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, July 25, 2026.
- Titled "On the Fort Day of Christmas," the short is set to premiere during the 2026 holiday season exclusively on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ in most international markets.
- The announced story centers on a record-breaking Christmas snowstorm that sends the Belcher kids to build a record-breaking snow fort without revealing plot twists or endings.
- Season 17 of Bob’s Burgers has been moved to Fox’s midseason schedule for early 2027 and will stream the day after broadcast on Hulu and on Hulu via Disney+ bundles in the U.S.
- The Hulu exclusive follows a pattern by 20th Television Animation of shifting extra or standalone installments to streaming for shows such as The Simpsons and Family Guy to keep output steady and maintain fan engagement.
