The holiday season comes to Bikini Bottom in the all-new hour-long special SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS, “Merry Christmas, Mr. Plankton.” The episode airs Friday, Nov. 27 (5:00-6:00 PM, ET/PT) on Nickelodeon and streams the same day on Paramount+. In this festive 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.


  • A new episode of THE PATRICK STAR SHOW, “Snowbound! A Star Family Christmas,” will premiere immediately following the special on Friday, Nov. 27 (6:00-6:30 PM, ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. While snowbound at home, the Stars share Christmas stories.
  • Since its launch on July 17, 1999, SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS has generated a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical and a global fan base. SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS is one of the most widely distributed properties in Paramount history, seen in more than 180 markets, translated in 30+ languages and averaging more than 90 million total viewers every quarter. SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS was created by Stephen Hillenburg and produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif. The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurable optimist and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends.
