A limited-edition “under-the-sea” SpongeBob-themed menu has been launched by Burger King to celebrate the upcoming release of the film, “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants™”, which is out on December 19, 2025.

Burger King’s new SpongeBob-themed menu aligns with the holiday season, where families traditionally like to go out and enjoy festive outings and dining experiences.

The menu, which has been inspired by several iconic SpongeBob characters, features the following items:

SpongeBob’s Krabby Whopper®: A quarter-pound 100 percent beef patty, flame-grilled on a yellow square bun colored with natural spices, topped with American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, mayo, and ketchup.
Mr. Krabs’ Cheesy Bacon Tots: Coin-shaped crispy tots filled with cheese, bacon, and potatoes, served in a treasure chest carton.
Patrick’s Star-berry Shortcake Pie: A slice of strawberry shortcake pie, which is layered with strawberry and vanilla filling, and is topped with shortcake cookie crumbles and pink star-shaped sprinkles.
Pirate’s Frozen Pineapple Float: A frozen pineapple drink with tropical-flavored cold foam.
Bikini Bottom Bundle: An all-in-one Pineapple-shaped "Under the Sea" box, which includes all four menu items, plus a medium-sized float, and eight cheesy bacon tots.
