On Christmas, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie rush downstairs to open their presents. Homer stops them to let Marge go 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.
The Simpsons Meet the Bocellis in "Feliz Navidad" was released on December 15, 2022. On December 7, this short was announced alongside the promotional poster.[5][6]
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."[7]
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."[8]
