The Simpsons Meet the Bocellis in "Feliz Navidad"
The Simpsons Meet the Bocellis in "Feliz Navidad" is an American animated short film based on the television series The Simpsons produced by Gracie Films and 20th Television Animation, debuting on the streaming service Disney+ on December 15, 2022. Like the previous shorts, it was directed by David Silverman. Plot 
On Christmas, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie rush downstairs to open their presents. Homer stops them to let Marge goes first and reveals that Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli is hiding behind the tree. Marge and Lisa are excited to see him whilst Bart doesn't care and just wants to open his presents. As Bocelli starts to sing "Con te partirò", Bart gets into the music and sings along with Bocelli. After they stop, Homer asks Andrea for a Christmas song. Andrea turns to his children Matteo and Virginia for help. Virginia suggests that they sing "Feliz Navidad", and the three of them sing it to the Simpsons, with the Simpsons joining in. Across town, Chief Wiggum uses the electric chair on a turkey, which Snake Jailbird carves. Ralph Wiggum is dressed as the Easter bunny and tries to put an egg in his basket, which has a hole in. Itchy in "Steamboat Itchy" is seen in a Santa hat, Cletus Spuckler and Brandine Spuckler put up Christmas stockings for their children, and Groundskeeper Willie gives Sideshow Bob a rake, which he then steps on. During the song, Bart unwraps his bike and cycles off across the Mickey Mouse icon, much to his annoyance. Release

Reception 
John Schwarz of Bubbleblabber gave the film a seven out of ten, stating: "With barely enough time for a proper joke setup, the latest short from The Simpsons is probably the most innocent of the bunch yet. Still very much a commercial for the longest running animated series in primetime with the added bonus of the Bocellis getting a music video produced by David Silverman and the best animation producers in the business." Mike Celestino of LaughingPlace.com gave a positive review, stating: "Overall it’s a very nice, if somewhat slight, holiday treat from 'Our Favorite Family,' the Bocellis, and the citizens of Springfield for Disney+ viewers to enjoy this Christmas."
