"O C'mon All Ye Faithful" is the tenth and eleventh episodes of the thirty-sixth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons, and the 778th and 779th episodes overall. The episodes were the first to be released exclusively on the streaming service Disney+ and were released on December 17, 2024. The episodes were written by Carolyn Omine and directed by Debbie Bruce Mahan and Matthew Faughnan.

Illusionist Derren Brown, musician Patti LaBelle, and a cappella group Pentatonix appeared as themselves.

Production

In August 2024, it was announced that four original episodes of the series would be released exclusively on Disney+. These two episodes were released to coincide with the 35th anniversary of the series premiere. Executive producer Matt Selman described them as a double-length episode with no cliffhanger to separate the two parts, which was unlike previous two-part episodes. Writer Carolyn Omine said the episode was inspired by "the difficult year she experienced personally" and wanting to find "magic in the world". She said the release on Disney+ allowed for the episode "to breathe" without the time constraints of broadcast television while not sacrificing the budget for the episode.

Illusionist Derren Brown appeared as himself. He described the role as "the best thing that's happened in my life so far". Omine said it was "one of the largest guest starring roles we've ever had" in terms of lines spoken and time on screen. Musician Patti LaBelle and a cappella group Pentatonix also appeared as themselves.

The trailer for the episode was released on December 11, 2024.

Release

The world premiere for the episode was held at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on December 13, 2024. The episode was released on the streaming service Disney+ on December 17, 2024.
