A Moshlings Twistmas

A Moshlings Twistmas is an animated holiday special based on the 2023 film Moshlings: The Movie. The special stars Jack McBrayer, Dakota Fanning, JB Smoove, Leon Thomas III, Craig Ferguson, John Oliver and Greg Cipes reprising their roles from the movie, with Brian Stepanek replacing Stacey Keach as Big Bad Bill and Thurop Van Orman and David Oyelowo voicing new characters.

The special premiered on Nickelodeon on December 5th 2025, followed by a sneak-peek of the second Moshlings movie.

Plot
Set eight months after the events of the movie, the Moshlings are on the run-up to Twistmas as Monstro City is setting up the annual Chocolate Twistmas Festival, which Big Bad Bill claims will be the biggest yet. But trouble arises when Biggie Diddles III, a chocolate-obsessed villain, plots to steal the entire stock of chocolate - and Twistmas altogether, so it's up to Shelby and the Moshling Club to stop Biggie's plans and save Twistmas.
