Hulu has released the official trailer and key art for the upcoming Family Guy holiday special, hilariously titled “Disney’s Hulu’s Family Guy’s Hallmark Channel’s Lifetime’s Familiar Holiday Movie.” The new animated event premieres Friday, November 28 exclusively on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+, giving fans a festive dose of the show’s iconic satire just in time for the holiday season.
A Holiday Movie Parody—Family Guy Style
In the half-hour special, Family Guy offers its own outrageous spin on the formulaic holiday movies that dominate networks like Hallmark and Lifetime every winter. The story follows Lois, who works for the fictional conglomerate “Big Pie,” as she heads to a quaint small town on a mission to steal Peter’s secret family pie recipe. What begins as a classic holiday rom-com setup quickly spirals into the absurd chaos that Family Guy fans know and love.
The special also features a guest voice appearance by Lainey Wilson, who performs an original country song during the opening scene. Her cameo adds a musical twist to a parody already packed with winks at holiday tropes, cheesy romance clichés, small-town nostalgia, and manufactured holiday magic.

- Seth MacFarlane
