The new holiday short, titled "On the Fort Day of Christmas," centers on the Belcher children's ambitious plans to construct an epic snow fort. A record-breaking Christmas snowstorm provides the perfect backdrop for Tina, Gene, and Louise to embark on their quest for a legendary wintertime creation.
Set to premiere on Monday, December 7, the special will be available exclusively on Hulu for U.S. subscribers, including those with the Hulu on Disney+ bundle. International audiences in most markets can catch the short on Disney+. The reveal, as reported by Deadline, built anticipation for what promises to be a delightful addition to the Bob's Burgers canon.
The first glimpse of "On the Fort Day of Christmas" was part of a dedicated panel at New York Comic-Con. Executive producer Loren Bouchard was on hand to discuss the project, joined by several key voice cast members. Attendees heard from H. Jon Benjamin, who voices Bob Belcher; John Roberts, the voice of Linda Belcher; Kristen Schaal, known for Louise; Eugene Mirman, who plays Gene; Dan Mintz, the voice of Tina; and Larry Murphy. Their presence underscored the collaborative spirit that brings the beloved series to life.
Bob's Burgers follows the working-class Belcher family—parents Bob and Linda, along with their three unique children Tina, Gene, and Louise—as they operate a hamburger restaurant in a seaside New Jersey town. The long-running animated comedy, produced by 20th Television Animation, has garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase for its quirky humor and heartwarming family dynamics. The main series continues to stream on Hulu and Disney+ internationally, complementing its broadcast run.
