The Simpsons Meet The Bocellis in Feliz Navidad Release Announced by Disney+

12/07/2022 11:42 am EST

The Simpsons will be meeting superstar Italian singer Andrea Bocelli – and his family – in a new Disney+ special. Entitled "The Simpsons meet the Bocellis in 'Feliz Navidad'", the holiday-themed special will stream on Disney+ starting on December 15th. In the synopsis provided by Disney+, we get the story of how "Homer surprises Marge with the ultimate gift: an unforgettable performance from Italian opera superstar Andrea Bocelli and his 25-year-old son Matteo and 10-year-old daughter Virginia."

The Bocellis won't just be getting an animated makeover for this; Andrea Bocelli and his children Matteo and Virginia will also release a new single, "Feliz Navidad" which is both featured in The Simpsons crossover and on The Bocellis' recent collab album, A Family Christmas. 

Disney+ has been tapping into The Simpsons franchise for special feature releases, usually tied into to some cultural event or (of course) some other Disney brand. "Maggie Simpson in 'The Force Awakens From Its Nap'" or "The Good, The Bart, and The Loki" are just two examples – now there's a holiday special that will bring The Simpsons into the Disney+ Christmas collection. Andrea Bocelli, voice, face, and story are all part of a world-famous career in music. Getting to play in The Simpsons Universe is just another milestone success for him.  

Here are the details released by Disney+:
