On November 17, 2021, the NATAS announced the creation of the Children's and Family Emmy Awards to recognize the best in children's and family television. The organization cited an "explosive growth in the quantity and quality of children's and family programming" as justification for a dedicated ceremony. Many categories of the awards were previously presented at the Daytime Emmy Awards.[5]

Nominations were announced on November 1, 2022, with programs The Mysterious Benedict Society and Sneakerella leading with 11 nods each.[6] American actor and television host LeVar Burton received the inaugural Lifetime Achievement award.[7]
