This deal will also open the doors for original content to be created based on characters from the kid-friendly channel.

The news comes after the recent multi-year deal struck between Netflix and Nickelodeon that adds even more Nickelodeon hits to the streaming giant's library. We've known Nickelodeon was planning Spongebob spinoffs since February, but now we're finally getting some concrete news about what this first spinoff will be about. Santa leaves Bikini Bottom, only for Patrick to put him in a jellyfish net when Santa is flying by the moon.In a turn of events none of us could have predicted, it looks like Spongebob Squarepants legend Squidward will be getting his own spinoff series. Meanwhile, one of Santa's elves finds the wind-up key that proves Plankton was involved with the naughtiness, and he gets piled under coal. SpongeBob fights and destroys Robo-SpongeBob with the fruitcake dispenser. Santa also says that SpongeBob is the worst of all when the Robo-SpongeBob comes to kill Santa and destroy Christmas. However, it is too late as when Santa Claus arrives, he says everyone is on the naughty list, sans Plankton, who gets the Krabby Patty formula.

SpongeBob begins singing and cures everyone from their jerktonium trance, bringing back their Christmas spirit. SpongeBob begins to suspect something is up when everyone acts like jerks, and goes to Sandy, who realizes what is happening, and the antidote happens to be song. Plankton realizes that SpongeBob is so full of Christmas spirit, he is immune to jerktonium, so he sends out a Robo-SpongeBob to commit naughty deeds to defame SpongeBob. First, he gives the fruitcake to SpongeBob to test it, but he is resistant to the jerktonium, and upset that his plan failed, gives his fruitcake dispenser to SpongeBob, who promptly distributes the fruitcake to all of Bikini Bottom, turning all the residents into jerks, like Plankton intended. However, he reveals to Karen his latest discovery: jerktonium, the substance that will turn anyone into a jerk, and cooks into fruitcake he intends to spread around Bikini Bottom. Plankton, however, is miserable, having committed so many naughty acts, he is on the naughty list and won't receive his Christmas wish - the Krabby Patty formula.

It's Christmas and SpongeBob is the happiest person in Bikini Bottom, while Squidward remains grumpy and Patrick attempts to capture Santa Claus.
