Let’s explore the details of these anticipated holiday events.
The Wonderful World of Disney: Holiday Spectacular

This ABC holiday season staple returns for its ninth year with a sparkling spectacle of all-new musical performances from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California.

Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade
December 25th | 10am to 12pm EST
Disney’s annual Christmas celebration returns Christmas morning with its traditional parade, endearing stories, and magical celebrity performances from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California. The holiday special is executive produced by Disney Yellow Shoes Studio along with EverWonder Studio and Film 45.
Production Insights
Filming for these specials took place earlier this month, with a streamlined production schedule that minimized disruption to park activities. The Magic Kingdom served as the backdrop for the parade, while other musical segments were shot across different parks. This approach allows guests to enjoy the parks while also creating memorable holiday content for viewers.

These ABC Disney Parks holiday specials offer a delightful way to experience the magic of the season from the comfort of your home. With spectacular performances and beloved traditions, the specials capture the essence of Disney’s holiday celebrations.
