The second speical is “A PAW Patrol Christmas,” which “will follow Rubble as he looks forward to Santa bringing him a new laser drill, but things take a turn when Santa comes down with a cold and can’t deliver any presents. When Mayor Humdinger decides he’s going to the North Pole to take all the gifts for himself, it will take all the PAW Patrol pups to stop him.”

The remaining specials will debut throughout 2026. News of the specials comes after the recent renewal of “PAW Patrol” through Seasons 12 and 13.
