As the holiday season winds down, here is something to look forward to for the next Christmas season in 2026. Dasher will be coming to Disney+ and Disney Jr during the 2026 holiday season and the CG holiday special is based on the bestselling book “Dasher: How a Brave Little Doe Changed Christmas Forever” from author and illustrator Matt Tavares. We are always excited to get a new holiday special as we notice every year our list keeps getting a little long in the snout. As it will follow Matt’s work we will be getting a fun magical origin tale for Santa’s famous reindeer Dasher and where he came from and the adventure he takes to get to Santa and the North Pole. We hope that the CG animation is great and makes it a classic, we should see some trailers closer to the holiday season next year.
“Dasher,” a full-length CG holiday special developed and produced by Trustbridge Entertainment and 9 Story Media Group in association with Disney Branded Television, is inspired by the New York Times bestselling picture book, “Dasher: How a Brave Little Doe Changed Christmas Forever” from author and illustrator Matt Tavares. Showcasing animation from Oscar-nominated studio Brown Bag Films, “Dasher” brings to life the magical origin story of Santa’s flying reindeer and one brave little doe who changes Christmas forever.
Executive producers are Bob Higgins and Kim Howitt from Trustbridge Entertainment, and Natalie Osborne and Alix Wiseman from 9 Story Media Group. Matt Tavares serves as a Consulting Producer. “Dasher” is written and directed by Emmy nominated writer-director Damien O’Connor (“Doc McStuffins”.) 9 Story Distribution holds international distribution rights and Trustbridge Entertainment retains worldwide CP rights.
“Dasher is a story that transcends Christmas,” said Higgins. “It’s about dreams and perseverance and family and in collaborating with Disney and Brown Bag, we think this funny, heart-warming special will become part of every family’s holiday fabric.”
