Baby Shark will swim onto Nick Jr. Australia with a special Christmas episode of his brand-new animated preschool series, Baby Shark’s Big Show! this December! Titled “Baby Shark’s Big Fishmas Special”, the episode will premiere on Friday 18th December 2020 at 5:00pm AEDT.
Based on the world-famous pop culture phenomenon and co-produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio and SmartStudy, the global entertainment company behind the beloved children’s brand Pinkfong, Baby Shark’s Big Show! (working title) is a 2D-animated series (26 half-hour episodes) that will follow Baby Shark and his best friend William as they journey on fun-filled comedic adventures in their community of Carnivore Cove, meet new friends and sing original catchy tunes along the way.
Baby Shark’s Big Show! is executive produced by Gary “Doodles” DiRaffaele (Breadwinners) and Tommy Sica (Breadwinners), with Whitney Ralls (My Little Pony: Equestria Girls) serving as co-executive producer. The series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank, Calif., with production overseen by Eryk Casemiro, Senior Vice President, Nickelodeon Preschool.
Baby Shark’s Big Show! is the latest series to join Nickelodeon’s powerhouse preschool lineup which includes Ryan’s Mystery Playdate, Bubble Guppies and Blaze and the Monster Machines. The series is part of Nick’s strategy to be the home for the biggest franchises kids and families love, and it expands the net’s growing portfolio of influential properties that already includes SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Blue’s Clues & You!, the first-ever SpongeBob spinoff, Kamp Koral, The Smurfs and an all-new animated Star Trek: Prodigy series.
In “Baby Shark’s Big Fishmas Special” (alternatively titled "All I want for Fishmas"), with Fishmas just around the corner, the season’s hottest toy--Burpin’ Bubbz--is at the top of Baby’s and William’s wish lists and when Santa Jaws goes missing, it’s up to them to save the holiday.
"When Santa Jaws goes missing with Fishmas just around the corner, it's up to Baby Shark and William to save the day!," reads the official synopsis.

Following the Baby Shark’s Big Show! holiday special, Nick Jr. will fully premiere the all-new Baby Shark animated series across its preschool platforms in 2021.

In addition to Nickelodeon and SmartStudy’s partnership to produce Baby Shark’s Big Show!, ViacomCBS Consumer Products (VCP) is managing consumer products licensing worldwide, excluding China, Korea and Southeast Asia, for the Baby Shark property.
Baby Shark launched on YouTube in November 2015 and took the world by storm, amassing 5.7 billion views and becoming the second most-watched video in the platform’s history. With music, characters, story and dance all combined together, the song recorded a 20-week-streak on the Billboard Hot 100 and spawned a viral phenomenon #BabySharkChallenge, generating over one million cover videos around the globe.
When COVID-19 (coronavirus) spread globally in March, Pinkfong! Kids’ Songs and Stories, the makers behind Baby Shark, released a new song all about how kids should wash their hands. The new song, which went viral in a similar way to its big sibling song before it, reminded children to cough into their elbow, use soap and rinse.
