The world of preschool content is about to be shaken up!
PEOPLE can exclusively reveal that Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Moonbug Entertainment are teaming up for a new crossover YouTube series. These four unique episodes will bring the Blippi franchise together with two of Dr. Seuss’ most notable characters, the Grinch and the Cat in the Hat.
The first two episodes, which premiere on the Blippi and Dr. Seuss YouTube channels on Friday, Dec. 19, will be focused on Blippi and the Grinch.
In the episodes, Blippi drops by the Grinch’s cave to bring him lots of holiday cheer. Together, the pair make gingerbread houses, bust some unexpected dance moves, play fun games, and learn the value of trying new things and meeting new people. Ultimately, Blippi shows the Grinch the thing that truly makes the holidays special: spending time with friends.

The second set of episodes, which drop on Feb. 27 ahead of Dr. Seuss’s birthday celebration on March 2, will show Blippi meeting the Cat in the Hat with his close friend Meekah. The two shows will take Blippi and Meekah on a joyful, high-energy adventure as they enter the world of the Cat in the Hat which means anything can happen.
The two friends unexpectedly get roped into a birthday scavenger hunt during the Cat in the Hat’s big birthday bash. They are joined by Seuss Circle Time’s Tizzie and Ziggy as they follow each clue singing songs, doing dances, participating in playful challenges and more.
The collaboration with Blippi marks the first ever collaboration for the Dr. Seuss YouTube channel. Each of the episodes will differ on both channels, so viewers will be unique streaming experiences on each page.
