Hulu announces new Family Guy holiday specials for 2025 Season

Family Guy fans, it's time to mark your calendars. Hulu has officially lined up two fresh holiday specials for 2025, keeping the long running animated series alive and kicking with seasonal fun before its new season hits.

The streamer is continuing its trend from last year by delivering exclusive episodes outside the usual FOX broadcast schedule.

This year's schedule starts off with a Halloween trick....? no, a treat coming your way on October 6, with another holiday episode aimed for the winters. Both specials will be available only on Hulu in the U.S.

These announcements, made during the SDCC, put some light on Hulu's increasing interest in curating original holiday content under its animation deal with 20th Television Animation and FOX.

Hulu’s Family Guy Halloween Exclusive: Brian and Stewie Take the Stage

The first of the two Family Guy specials airing in 2025 sets a spooky tone with the Halloween-themed episode titled "A Little Fright Music." This one drops on Hulu on October 6, and it sounds like classic mayhem is in store.

The story has Brian and Stewie, who feel the Halloween music lacks punch. Naturally, the duo decide to fill the void by making up their own spooky hit.

But the chaos of it all doesn't stop there. Peter and his gang get tangled in a web of consequences after taking their trick or treating tales a little too far.

This episode brings the spotlight to the kind of outlandish humor that has made Family Guy a staple on TV for decades. The concept feels fresh while staying true to the show's love for bizarre adventures and satire.

With this being the second Halloween special in two years, Hulu is clearly building a holiday tradition for fans that blends music, mischief, and mayhem all wrapped in that signature animated packaging.

More Holiday Cheer Before Season 24 Kicks Off

Though full details haven't been shared yet, another holiday themed special is on the horizon after the Halloween episode. This holiday special is expected to drop closer to the Christmas season, continuing Hulu's interests with bringing out holiday content.

These episodes are part of a larger four season renewal between FOX and 20th Television Animation, covering not just Family Guy but also The Simpsons, Bob's Burgers, and American Dad.

Thanks to this deal, Hulu remains the go to platform for exclusive Family Guy releases in the U.S., offering extra content to keep fans feeling engaged even before the next season releases.

Season 24 is being aimed for a 2026 release on FOX, and it will also stream on Hulu. The specials act as a bridge, keeping fans entertained and invested while building interest for the new season. It's a strategy that falls into Hulu's growing role in an animated domain while giving fans something extra to look forward to.

With holiday specials returning exclusively to Hulu, fans get a sneak peek at what's to come before Season 24 arrives. The October 6 Halloween special sets the tone for another entertaining year, while the second holiday episode keeps the surprises coming.

If you're a Family Guy loyalist, this is the perfect warm up.
