You Won’t Believe What’s Waiting Under the Sea — SpongeBob’s New Movie Drops December 19, 2025!
A brand-new SpongeBob movie is washing ashore this holiday season, and fans are already buzzing. The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants officially hits theaters on December 19, 2025, marking SpongeBob’s biggest big-screen adventure in years. This one is shaping up to be a major moment for longtime fans, kids, and anybody who loves a good under-the-sea laugh.
Directed by Derek Drymon, the film brings back the iconic voice cast that everyone knows and loves. Tom Kenny returns as SpongeBob, Bill Fagerbakke is back as Patrick, Clancy Brown returns as the money-loving Mr. Krabs, Rodger Bumpass again voices Squidward, and Carolyn Lawrence brings Sandy Cheeks back to life. The movie also introduces new energy with additions like Ice Spice, George Lopez, Regina Hall, Arturo Castro, and Sherry Cola. One of the most exciting surprises? Mark Hamill joins the crew as the voice of the ghost-pirate, The Flying Dutchman.
The story follows SpongeBob on a deep-sea quest to prove his bravery to Mr. Krabs. Teaming up with the Flying Dutchman, SpongeBob dives into parts of the ocean no sponge has dared to explore before. Expect a mix of classic Bikini Bottom comedy, pirate-themed chaos, heartfelt moments, and plenty of Easter eggs for longtime fans.
Check Out the Trailer
The official trailer is already out, giving fans a first look at SpongeBob’s wild new adventure, new characters, and the kind of high-energy humor that makes this series timeless. The visuals look bigger and bolder than ever, which makes sense since this film is timed for a major holiday theatrical release.
🍔 Burger King Drops a SpongeBob Collab on December 2
Just a couple weeks before the movie hits theaters, Burger King is launching a full SpongeBob-themed food collab on December 2. This limited-time drop includes a special themed meal and a playful twist on the menu that fans are already hyped for. One of the standouts is the Krabby-style Whopper, inspired by SpongeBob’s world but with BK’s signature flavor.
Kids meals will also feature new SpongeBob toys tied directly to the movie, making this one of the biggest fast-food collaborations of the season. If you’re a collector or you just love fun limited-time drops, this is definitely one to check out.
Even Olipop jumped into the underwater fun this year with their own SpongeBob-inspired collaboration, releasing limited-edition cans that quickly became a fan favorite. The collab was even featured on the Nerdthusiast Instagram page as the Saturday Snack of the Week, where the bright, tropical-themed cans grabbed tons of attention and added another layer of hype to SpongeBob’s big return to the big screen.
🎟️ Movie Promos, Tie-Ins and Theater Exclusives
Studios are going all-in on promotional tie-ins for this movie, and theaters are jumping onboard too. Regal Cinemas is expected to release special edition SpongeBob popcorn buckets and collectible drink cups, following the massive trend of movie-themed buckets that fans rush to grab on opening weekend. These usually sell out fast, so if you're planning to hit the theater opening night, arriving early might score you one of these limited collectibles.

This film has all the makings of a perfect holiday event: nostalgia, humor, a star-packed cast, and major brand collaborations.
