Two Holiday Specials Are Coming This Fall

The fun doesn’t stop with Willa’s debut.

Disney Jr. also announced two full-length holiday specials arriving later this year.

Howl-O-Ween Charm

Halloween comes to Kittydale when the magical Howl-O-Ween Charm is stolen, allowing a group of mischievous Trixters to escape and create chaos throughout town.

The SuperKitties must work together to round them up before they completely ruin the Halloween festivities.

Friendsgiving Feast

Thanksgiving also gets the SuperKitties treatment in Friendsgiving Feast.

When The Glamsters steal treats and decorations from around Kittydale, the SuperKitties and Willa race against time to save everyone’s Friendsgiving traditions.

The special will also feature guest appearances from Jenifer Lewis, who voices Evie’s glamorous grandmother Glammy, and Henry Winkler, who voices Sam and Eddie’s Uncle Tony.

Party at Disney California Adventure Park on August 13, 2026. During the interactive stage show, kids can decorate cupcakes alongside their favorite superhero kittens.

About SuperKitties

Created by Emmy Award winner Paula Rosenthal, SuperKitties follows the adventures of five courageous superhero kittens—Ginny, Sparks, Buddy, Bitsy, and now Willa—as they work together to make Kittydale a kinder, safer, and more caring community.

With action, teamwork, humor, and positive life lessons, the series continues to be a favorite among preschool audiences and families alike.

The addition of Willa marks an exciting new chapter for SuperKitties, bringing fresh adventures and new team dynamics to one of Disney Jr.’s fastest-growing franchises. Combined with the upcoming Halloween and Friendsgiving specials, new music, merchandise, and live experiences, there’s never been a better time for young fans to jump into the world of Kittydale.

Whether your little superhero is already a longtime fan or just discovering the series, there’s plenty of “pawesome” fun on the way. Be sure to catch “The New SuperKitty” on Disney+ and keep following The Main Street Mouse for all the latest Disney Jr. news and announcements!
