'''Nickmas Party'''<ref name="yt">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU3ZatHxFoM Nickmas Party Promo - December 2023 (Nickelodeon U.S.)]</ref> was a {{W|Christmas}}-themed event that occurs throughout December {{Time|2023}}, premiering and encoring various holiday-themed episodes of series leading up to the second [[NFL Nickmas Game]]. [[A Very Patchy Holiday Stream Special|A brand-new Patchy holiday special]] premiered during the event on {{Time|December 15}}.<ref name="futon">[http://www.thefutoncritic.com/showatch/spongebob-squarepants/listings/ ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' - The Futon Critic Episode Listings]</ref>

==Production==
Nickelodeon's original December press schedule was revealed on {{Time|November 1}}, {{Time|2023}}, confirming various premieres that would soon be aired as a part of this event. However, the schedule would eventually be heavily edited, removing or changing the dates and time-slots for most of the episodes.<ref name="dec23">[[:File:Nick December 23 sked.webp]]</ref>

A month later on {{Time|December 1}}, Nickelodeon officially released a promo, and certain shows were either missing (''{{W|Monster High (TV series)|Monster High}}'') or still included after being pulled from the event<ref name="dec23"/> (''{{W|Rugrats (2021 TV series)|Rugrats}}''.)<ref name="yt"/>
