December 2025 On Nicktoons Across Europe And Africa | Channel Premiere: A Fairly Odd Christmas Movie | Returning Shows Including The Super Duber Bunny League | More

Get ready for an action-packed, event-filled month that also brings some unexpected moves from Nicktoons toward the end of 2025. Let’s start with the most obvious premiere: The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, which arrived in November, will finish its run in the first week of December. The remaining five episodes – including the infamous “banned” episode that Nickelodeon later pulled internationally – will air in their usual time slots. After Hazel says goodbye, the heroic (and sometimes villainous) critters of Mr. Fuzzleglove return with the The Flufflekins Bunny League. New episodes have been airing abroad since September, and Nicktoons will blast through most of the remaining episodes in just two weeks. This batch not only kicks off Season 2, but also includes a Christmas special that premieres almost simultaneously with the world premiere – naturally scheduled right around the holidays. From this point on, it’s all holiday-themed episodes and movies, all debuting as part of the big Christmas marathon.

The first festive premiere is the 2016 animated movie Albert (a Christmas-obsessed little fire tree), getting its channel premiere on Christmas morning, with an encore on the morning after Boxing Day. Shortly after Albert comes a historic moment for the channel: its very first live-action content ever – A Fairly Odd Christmas (the 2012 live-action movie). These two premieres are exciting not only because one is live-action, but also because Nicktoons is finally opening the door to movies in general – something that could mean a lot more channel-premiere films in the future. Finally, brand-new holiday episodes of The Loud House and The Patrick Star Show will also arrive in late-afternoon slots during the festive period.

The channel is treating viewers to lots of new content this month, including the brand-new PAW Patrol special. 

The month kicks off with Rubble & Crew – the channel will air the entire second half of Season 3, meaning that the next time we get new episodes, it will already be Season 4. By the way, the Christmas-themed episode from Season 2 that was skipped last year will finally air this December. 

There will also be Christmas specials premiering from Blaze and the Monster Machines (two festive episodes from Season 8) and a previously unaired episode from PAW Patrol Season 11. The holiday season will also be brightened by the channel premiere of the movie Albert, but the real highlight is the PAW Patrol TV movie Christmas special. The second half of the month belongs to the brand-new Season 4 of Dora – and strangely enough, the channel is showing the entire season.

"There Are A Variety Of Other Channels That Contain Similar Content", MultiChoice On The Closures Of MTV Base, BET, CBS Reality And CBS Justice On DStv

As reported moments ago, CBS Reality, CBS Justice, BET and MTV Base will be exiting DStv soon due to a corporate restructure at Paramount. For DStv consumers particularly high end subscribers that are hoping to be compensated there no plans to replace these channels.

MultiChoice when asked about the matter pertaining to BET and MTV Base 

"There are a variety of other channels that contain similar content, such as Sound City, Channel O, Trace Urban or Trace Africa for music, or Mzansi Magic, M-Net, Bravo, and Movie Room for viewers who prefer series and movie entertainment.”

MultiChoice when asked about the matter pertaining to shows like Judge Judy on CBS Reality 

"Customers can continue to enjoy a wide range of local and international reality and investigative content across our bouquet of channels.”

However the fact that MultiChoice has no workaround to such doesn't mean there won't be one eventually. Best guess here is that MultiChoice will be widening the reach certain channels within 2026.

For MTV Base, this could as well be Trace Africa to DStv Access but like MultiChoice has stated there's plenty of channels for local music. There's been an increase in online usage for platforms like Spotify which partially contributed to the channel's demise.

For CBS Reality, this could as well be the additions of Discovery Family to DStv Access or Curiosity Channel to DStv Family subscribers. As highlighted, there's a wide range of local and international reality and investigative content.

Lastly for other DStv consumers, MultiChoice had been part of a corporate buyout by French broadcaster Canal+. Through its sub division, Canal+ Afrique had boasted about 4000 hours of African content which is currently being integrated with MultiChoice. 

From 9 December, MultiChoice will be adding Sunu Yeuf, Pulaagu, Mandeka, Maboke and Zacu TV currently seen on Canal+ Afrique to DStv. These channels form part of 4000 hours content slate the company is introducing in select African markets.

Scheduling Update: BET And MTV Base Will Stop Airing On DStv From January 1st At 9AM CAT

As reported moments ago, CBS Reality, CBS Justice, BET and MTV Base will be exiting DStv soon due to a corporate restructure at Paramount. This had led to several linear channels to shut down from across the globe and this included various MTV branded channels.

MultiChoice sent a notice to various DStv consumers informing them that these 4 channels would be exiting DStv by 31 December 2025. Yet on the programme guide, BET and MTV Base are only scheduled to close by 1 January 2025 at 9AM CAT.

This could mean several things the first Paramount could be curating special programming for the channels. As I understand it, MTV Base had been curating content to celebrate 20 years perhaps BET with its 10 year presence is being stringed along.

Their closures seemed abrupt when it was first announced and this could be their way of trying of settling the score or rather make amends. 

On the MultiChoice side of things, the company will now to have work around the clock to allocate more content or risk losing subscribers. Since their buyout by Canal+, DStv consumers have seen some enhancement with the addition of Ligue 1 and NBA on SuperSport.

Canal+ is expected to provide a detailed report about its plans for MultiChoice by next year. Some of which include merging their operations with that of MultiChoice a process in which the company is expected to conclude within 12 to 18 months.

Channel Closure: CBS Reality And CBS Justice Will Stop Airing On DStv From 31 December 2025

Due to a corporate restructure at Paramount, DStv consumers will be bidding farewell to both BET and MTV Base as the channels are set to close by 31 December 2025. Joining the duo will be CBS Reality and CBS Justice in which the company operate alongside AMC Networks International.

This will follow a slate of channels by both companies which are set to shutter by the end of 2025. This includes CBS Reality in Poland, BET in France, Nickelodeon's channels in New Zealand and MTV's music channels across the whole of Europe.

CBS Reality was added onto MultiChoice's DStv by November 2001 as Zone Reality offering reality based content and documentaries. It was known for shows like Cheaters, Judge Judy, Dogs Behaving Very Badly, Border Patrol: Beyond Borders and Hardcore Pawn.

It's closure means DStv consumers won't be seeing the final season of Judge Judy as CBS Reality was currently broadcasting it's 21st season. 

MultiChoice added CBS Justice as a replacement to Hearst's Crime + Investigation by November 2019. Serving as a spin-off to CBS Reality, it offered shows like Murder Made Me Famous, World's Most Evil Killers and Donal MacIntyre's Murder Files.

As reported, MultiChoice will be adding four pop-up channels for the festive holidays: DStv 30, AFCON, fliekNET and The Holiday Channel. They are also running an Upsize promotion on various DStv packages which will just serve as distractions.

Canal+ is currently integrating it's African operations with that of MultiChoice following its acquisition of the company. This has led to the further additions of Sunu Yeuf (Senegalese), Pulaagu (Pulaar/Fulfulde), Mandeka (Mandinka and related Manding languages) and Maboke (Lingala).
