Left alone in Wayne Manor on Christmas Eve, Damian must transform into 'Little Batman' to defend his home against an array of Gotham City villains and save Christmas.
Merry Little Batman is one of three DC animated projects acquired by Prime Video, the others being Bat-Family and Batman: Caped Crusader.
Bat-Family is a Merry Little Batman spin-off series that will pick up after the events of the festive film, following Batman, Alfred Pennyworth and Damian as they navigate life as a super-family in Wayne Manor.

Meanwhile, Batman: Caped Crusader will reinvent the character and his lore with "sophisticated storytelling, nuanced characters, and intense action sequences, all set in a visually striking world".
The series has a two-season order, and is executive produced by Bruce Timm, JJ Abrams, and Matt Reeves.
"Batman: The Animated Series helped pioneer in the evolution of superhero storytelling and defined the Dark Knight for a generation," Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon and MGM Studios, said in a statement.
"Batman: Caped Crusader will no doubt continue that tradition and, alongside Merry Little Batman and Bat-Family, we’re thrilled to collaborate with Warner Bros. Animation to offer a variety of takes of the Batman mythos to our global Prime Video customers."
Merry Little Batman premieres December 8 on Prime Video. Bat-Family and Batman: Caped Crusader are yet to receive release dates.
