Say hello to Shinchan this December for heaps more fun and trouble! The five-year-old prankster is back with new episodes of that wicked style, with all-new Shinchan’s shenanigans. They’ll bring you tons of laughs and wild family moments.

Starting in December 2025, Sony YAY! will add new Shinchan episodes for kids to watch at home over winter break from school. 2025 will premiere this season to coincide with peak vacationing for kids looking for entertainment when they are home in the lazy afternoons and festive evenings.

The anime has exploded in popularity over the past few months, and its current share of slots (15%) indicates it is number one in its time slot. Their growth has led to increased programming during Christmas/Winter Break, which has the highest number of viewers for TV shows during the year. They created new content for this holiday season to connect with one of their biggest successes, Sony YAY!
