'Disney's Hulu's Family Guy Hallmark Channel's Lifetime's Familiar Holiday Movie' — Hulu

Family Guy has a history of spoofs, like when it parodied Star Wars with its Blue Harvest specials. For 2025, the long-running animated series created by Seth MacFarlane set straight-to-TV/streaming holiday flicks in its sights with its absurdly long-titled special. The animated flick is intended for mature audiences, in typical Family Guy fashion, so maybe refrain from watching this with the kids, although they're probably going to check it out themselves on a tablet that doesn't have any parental controls on it.

It's available to stream right now on Hulu if you're thinking of checking it out.
