TV Specials

Dora’s Christmas Carol Adventure

Dora the Explorer’s holiday classic has returned! If you watched it last year, then you already know that your kids will love to see Dora in action in this Christmas- themed special. Swiper the Fox has swiped one too many times- putting him on the naughty list! Dora, being the great friend that she is, asks Santa if there’s any way they can help Swiper make it back to the nice list- leading them to an adventure filled with trips to the past to help him amend his ways. Will Dora help Swiper succeed? Will Swiper make it off the naughty list? You’ll have to watch the episode to find out!

Bubble Guppies: Happy Holidays, Mr. Grumpfish!

A new Bubble Guppies holiday show, Happy Holidays, Mr. Grumpfish stars all of the guppies as they prepare to celebrate the holiday season. Caroling, baking cookies, and spreading merriment and cheer are just a few of their activities. There’s also a big holiday party planned for the entire town! Everyone will be there- except grumpy Mr. Grumpfish, who refuses to celebrate with the town! The Bubble Guppies have to find a way to get Mr. Grumpfish to be happy again- if they can. What is it that makes Mr. Grumpfish so grumpy? If they can find out, perhaps they can figure out how to get him into the holiday spirit!
