SEGA and Paramount Pictures released a new Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Christmas short video, titled “A Very Short Christmas.” The short is two minutes long and sees Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails talk to Santa Claus himself.
In addition, the ugly Sonic design from the original Sonic the Hedgehog movie returns with a Christmas sweater giveaway. The sweater is just one of many prizes that fans can earn by entering the 12 Hours of Sonic giveaway before December 11 at 7:00 p.m. PT / 10:00 p.m. ET.
Check out the Christmas short for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 below:
Tickets for the film are now live and participating theaters will host a fan event screening on December 19. Those who attend will receive a limited edition Shadow print. Before then, you can catch up on the latest Sonic the Hedgehog 3 clip.
Recently, director Jeff Fowler confirmed that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will tease future characters for the series. According to Fowler, the film will continue the “tradition set by the previous two films,” and will “set the stage for a potential fourth movie to introduce another video game character after Tails and now Shadow.”
Only time will tell if Sonic the Hedgehog 3 teases the debut of future characters such as Amy, Rouge, Silver, Chaos, or Metal Sonic. The upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie will premiere in theaters nationwide on December 20.
The latest game in the franchise, Sonic X Shadow Generations, is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. On December 12, the new Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Movie Pack will introduce a new playable level with Shadow, voiced by Keanu Reeves himself.
