‘Family Matters’ Steve Urkel Returns For Animated Holiday Special (And It’s All We Want For Christmas)

We know it’s only September, but it’s never too early for media conglomerates to start planning their holiday specials. Often, these one-off programs are schmaltzy, campy, and almost unwatchable. But there is one on deck that we are actually excited to check out – because it features one of our favorite characters: Steve Urkel from Family Matters.

Yes, the suspenders-wearing dork who loved to dance on the ‘90s sitcom is coming back to television for a special broadcast. It’s called “Did I Do That to the Holidays? A Steve Urkel Story” and is being described as a “special animated holiday musical event” that will air on Cartoon Network and be voiced by Jaleel White, the actor who brought Urkel to life (and made him a fan favorite).

Apparently, the awkward Urkel will come close to ruining the holidays after embarrassing a shopping mall Santa. Though he attempts to correct the gaffe on his own, his efforts only make the situation worse, necessitating a search for the real Santa (aka the only one who could possibly fix this mess).

The air date of this family-friendly comedic special is still TBD, but we’ll definitely put it on our holiday to-do list when it drops.
