By American TV editorial team |
'Tis the Season to Be Smurfy airs Friday, December 4, 2026, from 9:30 to 10 p.m. ET/PT on The CW. The half-hour animated Christmas special follows A Flintstones Christmas Carol, and on DIRECTV it airs on your local CW station.

It's Wild Smurf's first winter in Smurf Village, and most of the Smurfs are counting down to the festivities. Grandpa takes Sassette to town to see how humans celebrate, and they meet a man too poor to give his sick wife any Christmas cheer, until the Smurfs come to the rescue with their own brand of Smurfiness.
