The TV movie is executive produced by Nickelodeon hit-maker Butch Hartman and is based on his Emmy Award-winning animated series “The Fairly OddParents.”
“Fairly Odd Parents fans loved the first live-action version of their favorite show so we decided to bring back these great characters in a Christmas adventure,” said Marjorie Cohn, President, Content Development, Live Action, Animation, Digital Nickelodeon Group, in a press release from Nickelodeon. “The stakes are high as Timmy and the gang embark on a hilarious mission to save Christmas that the whole family can enjoy.”
