Rubble, the construction-savvy pup, will be wagging his tail for Santa this year when CBS and Paramount+ premiere A PAW Patrol Christmas on Nov. 28. This new hour-long special will feature a mix of original and classic holiday songs in a heartwarming story following a new adventure starring Rubble.
In the special, Rubble is looking forward to Santa bringing him a new laser drill, but things take a turn when Santa comes down with a cold and can’t deliver any presents. When Mayor Humdinger decides he’s going to the North Pole to take all the gifts for himself, it’s up to the PAW Patrol to stop him.
The holiday event is part of a previously announced slate of original hour-long PAW Patrol specials, each centering on a different pup, which will begin rolling out this fall with Valiente: A Tracker Story, premiering Friday, Oct. 3 (11:00 AM-12:00 PM, ET/PT) on Nickelodeon. The remaining specials will air on Nickelodeon in 2026, along with all new season 12 episodes of PAW Patrol.
Fans can also visit the Paramount+ “PAW Patrol” PAWsome collection, which currently includes multiple seasons, specials, blockbuster movies, the spinoff Rubble & Crew and more. Preschoolers and families can also enjoy Nickelodeon’s Ride & Sing podcast, launching Sept. 25 with a PAW Patrol Marshall-themed episode.
Created by Keith Chapman, with animation produced by Toronto’s Guru Studio, Spin Master Entertainment’s PAW Patrol launched on Nickelodeon on Aug. 12, 2013. The show has consistently ranked as a top-rated preschool series, is seen in 180 territories and is translated in 33 languages.
