AMC Global Media And Sphere Entertainment Announce Expanded Seasonal Partnership Opportunities

Sphere's Annual December Celebration "Sphere of Cheer" Returns with Integration to Include AMC's "Best Christmas Ever"

Last Year's Successful Collaboration, "Sphere of Fear" and "FearFest" to Return in October

NEW YORK, NY and LAS VEGAS, NV - April 29, 2026 - AMC Global Media and Sphere Entertainment Co. (NYSE: SPHR) are expanding their seasonal collaboration to include partnership opportunities combining Sphere's annual Exosphere holiday celebration "Sphere of Cheer" with AMC's annual "Best Christmas Ever" December programming. Built on the most popular holiday classic films and specials, "Best Christmas Ever" drives peak viewership on AMC and across the company's networks and streaming services. Following last year's successful debut collaboration, the companies will partner again for a Halloween-themed multi-platform celebration throughout October, timed to their annual "Sphere of Fear" and "FearFest" events.

In December, the celebration will kick off with a festive moment bringing global audiences together. AMC Global Media will collaborate with Sphere Entertainment to secure branded activations on the Exosphere, the world's largest LED screen, with custom content created by Sphere Studios, the in-house team driving technological and creative innovation. The content will also be displayed throughout AMC's "Best Christmas Ever" programming across AMC platforms.

"After a successful first-ever Halloween collaboration with Sphere last year across Sphere of Fear and FearFest, we knew the next step was to go even bigger," said Mike DiGiacomo, head of integrated marketing and Content Room for AMC Global Media. "This year, we're expanding the partnership with a full-month holiday celebration all December on Exosphere and across our platforms, timed to Best Christmas Ever-our biggest programming moment of the year. From FearFest and a full October of Halloween and horror to the world's first Sphere and Best Christmas Ever crossover, we are creating unique opportunities for brands to connect with highly engaged fandoms during our two biggest seasonal moments."

"AMC and Sphere are both powerful platforms for bringing people together around meaningful moments," said Marcus Ellington, Executive Vice President, Ad Sales and Sponsorships, Sphere. "This partnership demonstrates how brands can leverage Sphere's technology and global reach to amplify their message in new ways, and we look forward to creating high-impact activations for brands to connect with audiences around Halloween and during the holiday season."

Last year's installment of AMC's beloved "Best Christmas Ever" event attracted 68 million engaged, cross-platform viewers. Through AMC Global Media's in-house branded entertainment studio, Content Room, participating partners will secure co-branded social content with Sphere and cross platform amplification across AMC's linear, digital, and streaming channels during the company's highest-rated annual programming event.

During the holiday season, advertisers can fully surround this showcase through multi-touchpoint opportunities from custom Content Room-produced creative, a cross-platform presence across all "Best Christmas Ever" touchpoints, branded ornaments on the Exosphere, exclusive social and influencer coverage via AMC Global Media, and more for an unforgettable, 360-degree sponsorship.

Last year's first ever collaboration around October's "Sphere of Fear" and "FearFest" programming attracted major sponsors such as Bacardi and Kraft Heinz for full-week Exosphere activations, amplified and complemented on AMC's platforms. Sphere and AMC Global Media are again joining forces around Halloween to offer opportunities to brands to leverage the scary season through fan engagement with "Sphere of Fear" and "FearFest" activations.
