Brand Spanking New Doug's Secret Christmas
Twelve year-old Doug Funnie is so wholesome, that he will be pictured on millions of milk containers distributed in schools this year. A clever licensing partnership between Disney Television and International Papers Liquid Packaging division will promote the animated character in elementary lunchrooms across the U.S.

In this re-release of a 1996 Christmas special, Doug and his dog Porkchop celebrate Christmas their own way when the family decides not to make a big deal of the holiday. Doug's Secret Christmas will also air on December 13, as part of a special Brand Spanking New Doug matinee program block on ABC. Produced by Disney-owned Jumbo Pictures, Doug started out as a series on Nickelodeon, before he was "Brand Spanking New."
